Default RACING SEATS!!?!?!?!?! help

hey everyone,

i was just wondering if anyone has put racing seats in their SC430's yet? any pics? im considering Bride, Sparco, Megans, etc. i just am not sure i want to lose that super comfortable seat and ESPECIALLY the power seat functions.

let me know your thoughts. they have always been appreciated. anyone have pics of anything cool with the interior? custom leather? etc? i would love to see!
thanks
joe

Search for some pictures of my car. I had put in some Sparcos. You will lose out on the seat warmers and memory function but you'll get firmer support for your body (if your driving habits should warrant it).

Aren't the side impact airbags located in the seat? Seems like that would be the biggest loss.

i think the 430 seats are some of the most comfortable i have ever sat in.. so i dont think i would get rid of them, also as a luxury car i think racing seats would look kind of awkward.

just my opinion

personally, i think they'd be a little weird unless you did some serious performance mods. like a turbo. the sc430 just wasn't made for racing.
