hobby...first time ever. lol. its came out really really nice though. i know how to sew pretty well but this was an interesting project. my mom is a seamstress so she taught me some tricks along the way but its all my own work. i've done a few other things since this project that have came out way better. i was working with vinyl which was actually pretty difficult. suede is way better material to work with but reeally expensive.

the universal brackets are the only thing i advise against. they are stupid and cheap. im good at fabricating stuff and these brackets were cheap and stupidly designed. the seats themselves feel very ridged and safe. they wont break but i highly suggest making your own brackets. i've tested it since my new brackets i made, by launching and breaking very hard. they feel great, seats feel great.

here is what those stupid ace universal brackets look like.

I did a full leather interior on mine, and painted the dash to match, it was a gray color before with cloth seats. Only problem, I didn't put headrests on there, thinking it would look cooler, but the uncomfortability outweighs the "coolness factor" haha. Im thinkin about these "racing seats" as well...

I just caught this place advertising on our forum for seats looks to be a good price and a decent selection of styles and color.

If you are talking about me, the Cobra emblem was prompty removed after I got there car and did the interior. It's on the GT, and not the notch. What sucks is that it was on there for so long before, it's all nasty under the emblem now.

that Bomz racing or whatever it is are the ones i was looking at, but i really do hate having logos all over my car let alone some ricer company printed into my headrest.

They do "look" like good quality but i would want to know personally before i unloaded the money.
