Leather Seats VS Race Seats

Post by deep1ca » Thu Nov 15, 2007 3:56 am

I can get front and rear RT leather seats for $250 or I can get a pair of race seats for $250.

What do you guys think?
What do you think would be better for shows?

A full set of seats beats two that don't match and prolly aren't as comfy. But that's my old butt's opinion.

racing seats, so you drive by the seat of your pants and still be held in place!!!! Oh, and these look pretty good too.

I say buckets since it would be a good weight redux and if you plan on driving kinda hard on turns then yes get them. Then later on if you get tired of them you can always sell them here really cheap

I have yet to see aftermarket seats that look good in a Neon so I vote OEM.

Personally, I would put in the leather seats.

What is better for shows?

That depends entirely on what the theme of your show build is going to be.

I've seen more aftermarket seats just fall apart than anything else. If you want "Race" style seats see if you can find a set of SRT seats

that is true but it also comes down to the quality and name brand.
You might want to save up and maybe invest like $500 for a good set that will last. Might want to look in to Recaro seats maybe.
