Bride Cuga Seats
 
2 Attachment(s)
i finally had a chance to get my seats installed recently because i was waiting on my brackets to be shipped to my door. These are the cuga model in red with Graduation. The seats are very comfortable and has a strong hold on you.

they look better in person.

Looks like you have some interior color work to do. :) Just a few red accents might be enough.

any ideas?

firebirdude 11-29-2011 03:09 PM

hmmm. Other than the shift knob/boot (everyone seems to like that), interior accents seem to differ greatly person to person. Some people paint their A/C vents, or just the trim around the A/C vents, plastic surrounding door handle/lock, replace/cover the center console lid, etc.

I'm thinking maybe a red shift knob with a black boot with red stitching. Then Black floormats with red trim. Then maybe just the A/C trim rings.

I think the idea is to lightly splash a little red on each part of the interior. A dash on the dash, a bit on the doors and maybe something small in the rear seat area. Just a little something to tie everything together. Maybe the rear center compartment cover?

well my shift is the JDM light one, i was thinking about having the door panels covered in the bride fabric. but i wasn't sure about doing red or black fab.

Do you have the airbag light on when you replaced your seats?

batangisip89 11-29-2011 11:28 PM

bad ass man. Ever make it out to any of the meets? i'd like to see your car in person :)

Nice seats. How much for each?

LifeAfterRx8 11-30-2011 12:34 AM

Those seats look great, not sure why people dislike the color.
I would look on eBay or call up salvage yards and try to find the OEM panels in black/red. Probably be would be a lot cheaper than trying to get it fabricated with the same material.

i dislike the color because imo the color red only looks good on some women and ferraris

firebirdude 11-30-2011 09:07 AM

I don't dislike the color. Just needs to blend in more.

yes i do. i do not have a bypass for it.

batangisip89: i'm rolling around town my friend, normally around downtown where i live. PM me if you want to see them in person.

monchie: thanks man. 1500 per..

LifeAfterRx8: pics do not do it justice... it looks amazing in person. but i have a guy who does upholstery and owes me a favor... :)

200.mph: i'll take some better pics for you, hopefully it would change your mind on the color idea..

firebirdude: working on it.
