Anyone swap out seats in their 8?

I'd love to see pictures and hear reviews from anyone who has swapped out seat(s) in their car!

One of these days I will make a thread about it. Or you can just search ' Kirkey ' and piece together my saga

I swapt my cloth out for factory leather. It was plug and play. Only thing I had to do was cut holes for the seat warmer buttons...even that was marked from the factory as far as where you needed to cut. Got a good deal on here actually. Ended up costing me a little over 1100.00. PM me if you have any ?'s

I swapped mine out. The seats are a little less comfortable than stock, obviously. Also, because the seatbelt receptacle bolts to the seat base, not the seat (which means that the receptacle doesn't move when the seat does), seat travel is limited. My 5'6" wife can no longer drive the car, because she can't get close enough to the pedals.

Is this a drawback, or a feature???
