RE: Original seats out, Elite seats in
I agree the stockers are adequately comfy. The only thing I don't like about low-backs is the safety. You get nailed from the rear and your neck and back will be very sore. I also don't like vinyl on hot summer days...nothing like getting out of your car and looking like you peed your pants.[:'(]

You guys slay me with your aftermarket seats. I drive Ol' yeller for hundreds of miles at a time with the stock seats and don't have any back problems. It's a waste of money and a time consuming job to modify them to fit a classic. If you want a modern car, then buy a modern car.

Nope. They should look like they could have been original (or at least the interior should have a single theme...works in progress excepted).

These seats give you an extra inch of head clearance, the bases are much wider (by two inches), ideal for big guys such as myself, they tilt back, and have headrests to prevent wiplashes, the Elites are just a much more comfortable and safer seat than the originals, not even close.
So no, in my case, it was NOT a waste of money, it was a WISE choice.

There are no set rules.
