Yup, lol. Except they were about a 1/10th of a shade lighter than the brackets so you cant even see them. In the pic they are white, mine are a dark grey.

Dude did you ever compare the replicas to the OEM side by side? Where are the replicas made?

Just curious, I'm considering new seats among a ton of other things,lol.

No, I haven't, but they should be the exact same dimensions. As far as quality concerns ie safety, this seat is on par with oem fiberglass seats. Only as a guess though, I only say that because oem carbon fiber seats probably have Kevlar in bedded in it too. As far as strength, I can pull on them pretty hard and only have it deflect a few millimeters. My suggestions blink, go all or nothing with whatever you do. Get a front bumper and sideskirts together, get seats, get full exhaust from header back, get new wheels and tires, supercharge it. Because when its in a transition period (when I had my GT3 front bumper on without skirts) it looked good, but odd. Like I said, whatever you do, just save and get the best you can afford because when you start replacing things it eats up tons of money. Example, buying cheap wheels then deciding to buy good ones later on, lots of lost money. Oh, and be tasteful... dont want to see you on gotrice.com, lol.

Lol,I guess I'm entering that phase of modding the heck out of the car.

I changed the exhaust,hopefully I can have headers by Halloween.

I've already had 3 different sets of wheels.

Now I'm thinking of seats,lol.

Damn college,if I wasn't going I'd have all this stuff done.......... :troll:

I have these seats... They are made by designTek in England... they aren't FIA spec, but they are trying to get them sooner than later. They are actually smaller than oem gt3 recaros, but not by much... its noticeable though. They seem just as strong though. Installation isn't the easiest thing to do... and I floor mounted my driver's side using BK mounting hardware.
