Default Aftermarket Seat question??

I've searched the forums here on CL and cant find an answer so here we go. Now I understand the LS430 is a pure luxury sedan with many individuals usually liking to keep it clean and simple and staying within the confines of "luxury" modifications. Ive always been a fan of the VIPGT style from Japan which take the best of both worlds in luxury and sport/track/drift. Ive seen a handful of guys use aftermarket bucket seats (Bride, Recaro, etc) in a few LS400 project cars and was just wondering if anyone has been daring enough to try something similar in a 430? I know its not everones cup of tea and most will be against such a thing but its great to see when certain individuals step outside the comfort zone which is VIP/luxury.

If my seats (mostly front) ever "go", I am seriously considering Mann-Scheel seats.
Just check out their website and you will see why they are the best.

I was thinking about the same thing. I always wanted to buy a ls and gut it and do a 430gt or do a ls2 or ls3 swap in it.

Pretty sure it would have to be custom made brackets. Or do some hard searching for stuff from Japan... but good luck
