yeah ive wanted those seats for a long time...since i have the red and black them going on with her i thought the red insert ones will look pretty decent. I will probably paint the harness bar black to match everything

and is the 99-04 harness bar different from the 05-09?

the harness bar bolts into the car very easily, you use the OEM seatbelt connections. Pull the plastic cover off, take the bolt lout, slide your harness ends in, then rebolt it tight. You'll see in the instructions.

Post up some pics of the seats when you get them installed. I'm trying to talk myself into race seats for my car but I haven't found any that would go well with my red interior. I have done about all the weight loss I can do without going with seats, a/c delete, or power steering delete and I'm not sure I'm ready to do that with my car.

Damn I should go the same route and get rid of my heavy ass seats. Those fx1's look badass. How are those seats for road trips and for a dd?

MattD says they are very comfortable...so i would assume not very bad..i went the microsuede route because its a much more durable fabric than the clothe ones...that and they feel sexy as hell!

lap belts i have bolted to the seat rails. they are comfortable for a race seat, but longgggg drives can get bad.

Nice, you'll definitely notice the difference, along with the extra confidence/feel for the car being strapped in gives you.

Sounds like a nice christmas!

I know right...good excuse to spoil myself since i don't have too many people to buy gifts for

Good! i know being strapped in is going to feel awesome but im more excited about the weight reduction and noticeable its going to feel driving..
