Talking Bride to be?

So has anyone put Brides in there car yet? I saw a few sema cars but i dont consider them cars bc no one ever really drives them (for instance the greddy suppercharged F). I am thinking of doing a set. besides no airbags and seat heaters what would i miss and how difficult would it be?

Splat: I've had Brides in 2 of my cars and (s2000 and NSX)

The s2000 was my daily and the nsx is most definitely not.....

Bride Stradia Sport with Kevlar backs would be the ONLY seats I would even consider for the IS-F (of course I have no inclination to change out my seats EVER though since I like my seat heaters and luxury). IMO Bride or any other race seat has no place in an IS-F but that's just me.

Are you replacing for bling factor or more other purpose?

Well bling factor and the fact that the car will be under the knife by a nice secret yet to be release project from Elite. I have had them in my sti and know about changing seats i was more interested in the specifics of the IS-F that pertain to the airbags and stuff.

Default cobras

i dont have brides cause there range of person fitment is not broad. my COBRA SUZUKA GT Carbon kevlar bucket fits amazing and I do track the car. ITs completly gutted and raced. With cobra harnesses for track. And not to forget in the racing world THEY ARE FIA APPROVED.

For a track car I wouldn't bother with anything short of a Sparco Pro ADV. At least it's got a decent halo and it's not crazy expensive.

Yeah, but I've got neck ISSUES I have to address. I can't run anything not HANS qualified.
