Default got some racing seats!

ive been wanting racing seats in my truck since i started streeting it out. i finally got some in on a trade so i put them in today. it was actually fairly easy. i just fabbed up some brackets and mounted the seats to the factory seat brackets. took about 3 hours from start to finish. what do ya think?

They do look really comfy. They also appear to match the interior really well.
Does that bump in the front (under the knee) make it awkward to reach the pedals? Looks like they were designed to be closer to the floor is why I ask.

I like them but would never do them in a QC because the back seats will never match. If it was a RC I would give two thumbs up but for now you only get one....

Thats my problem as well.

Found a set of brand new leather seats from an 06, but no back seat, so I passed up the deal.

its all gotta match.


Now, with those front seats, if he found a back seat from the SRT-10 (black with suede inserts) those should match fairly well.

they are suprisingly comfortable. and they match almost perfectly. that bump in the front isnt that bad, its really soft so it doesnt interfiere with the angle of my legs to the pedals.

Of if you could get some more to go in the back and somehow fabricate a center console or something else that would look nice between them

Very nice. What brand are those -Scat?
Any weight saving from the stocker seat? (excluding the bracket)

they deff look like scat seats huh? no they are just some knock off brand. they were fairly lightweight, but i was suprised at how lightweight the factory seats were. they wernt as heavy as i thought they would be. id like to do some buckets in the rear, maybe someday...
