Damn OP those look great! I want the same seats in mine so I have a couple of Qs.
What mounting brackets did you use?
Which Harness part number?
Do you still have the 3pt belt? could you take a pic of u in the seat with the 3 point belt over your lap?
Any clearance issues with the seats? can you still get in the back seat?

Seats: $985 each (shell + upholstery with provided material)
Leather: $480 shipped for 1 full hide and 1m of backed alcantara (bought from UK hide:

https://www.ukhide.co.uk/product/alc...9002-charcoal/)
Brackets: $315 shipped from Vivid Racing (

Switches, wiring, etc.: $35 or so from ECS
So ~2800 total. HMS gave me a reasonable discount on each seat and basically free shipping, which probably brought it closer to 2400 than 2200, apologies.
Cobra is nice in that they'll do the upholstery work for you, so I supplied the material and they did everything on their factory lines. They'll add seat heaters if you want (I regret not adding them, especially since I'm moving to a colder climate), as well as an inflatable lumbar support (haven't felt the need for this yet).
I left the three points in, they work perfectly with the seats. I'm a 32" waist and the belts aren't caught on the seat at all. I can grab some photos when the light is better.
The four points are Schroth QuickFit pros (

The back seats aren't super accessible--kids likely wouldn't be a problem (I don't have any so I can't really test this), but adults of any reasonable size basically need to shimmy in from the bottom and pop up. It won't really work in a tight parking space, for instance. I've heard the manual sliders have a little more room, though I don't know if it's the case. In any event, I treat my car like a two-seater with more than average trunk capacity.
