that was the only seat in the super street article with the seat comparison, that not a single person said was comfortable.

are they adjustable in any way or are they 1 piece mold?
2 way .. the stock sliders bolt up after some fabrication and they have a roller on the side for reclining the seat.

k .. just curious, either way .. I'm sure they are more comfortable than my lx seats. I know they feel more comfortable initially, but I havn't sat in them for a while to know for sure.

We'll see, and for $150, I don't really care. Not like it's a big loss if the seats are shitty, and I can always sell them again to someone else for more than I paid for them.

Really a win win situation minus the labor on installing them.

No, I meant my labor, my time I spent installing them would be my only loss if the seats suck.

I doubt they are complete crap. Troy Trepanier and Chip Foose have both used APC seats with partial or complete reupholstery on both Rides and Overhaulin.

looks like you got a good deal. but you know if you were a noob on TR and put APC seats in a mustang you would have got ragged on hardcore. shit, even if an import guy puts APC seats in his car he's gonna get ragged on. i personally wont rag on anyone because its your car to do with what you please. anyway, just go to a fabric store or the fabric part of wal-mart and buy a stitch remover. you can remove the APC and the fabric underneath will be the same as the rest of the seat.
