Non-stock racing seats in your '8?

I am considering buying some racing front seats for my '8 but am worried that it might look out of place since it wont match the rear seats. Does anyone have any photos of non-stock (like not the recaros from the R3) racing seats in their '8 they can post? Thanks.

I don't have any pics (worthless, I know) but I have seen some 8s with Bride seats in them...the black and grey works well if you have the black and grey stock cloth interior...unfortunately, Bride are the only seat I have seen that look/work well with the factory interior IMO, and they will run you ~$1k/seat

I'm thinkin about this seat: http://www.andysautosport.com/mazda/...e00097656.html once I get everything else done to the car first.

See thead:


You might want to search the "racing/competition" forum on here. That seems to be where the most racing seat info is.

Here is a photo of my set up for track days. These seats however are not practical for day to day use.

^^^ I see the rear seat are out but where is that roll bar at?

P.S.- I went and sat in that Status Ring seat I posted ^^^. It was too short nut they said they should be able to make a custom seat to fit me. I was really impressed with the build quality. Hella nice!
