New T1R Seats?

Just saw this earlier this afternoon... Wonder when they will be available. Hopefully not too expensive, I might just consider one of these for tracking.

first off: the stitching, fabric and fitment look like garbage, it better be cheap!

Second: they make a "sport exhaust" for the Honda CR-Z hybrid.....


sooooooooooo I dont think anything else needs to be said..... except, shop somewhere else.

I contacted T1R, so hopefully I can check out the seat in person.

On a side note, I don't think theres anything wrong with a sport exhaust for the CRZ lol, to be honest, that car doesn't sound like anything, so having an exhaust would be nice. Plus I've driven a modified CRZ before and I'm pretty happy with a handling. Of course, there is no power, but a very fun car to drive nonetheless.... sorry to get off topic.

Bashing T1R just cause you don't know them... Apart from the CR-Z hybrid exhaust, they also make a great exhaust for the Evo X... And many other products...

these seats have been available to the 240sx crowd for a while, the only difference is the logos on these.

Not a fan of these seats specifically, but T1R makes great parts for the s2000's.

Nothing against T1R but they do look like the fake Bride copy. I like the tow hook on the other hand.

I like almost all of T1R's products. They have great stuff. But I'm not feeling these. They just look cheap to me.

Sat on one of these seat today. The bucket feels pretty solid and comfortable. Something I would consider for the price.

$631 for knock-offs isn't a "deal." One thing you don't want to cheap out on is your own safety.

Knock-offs aren't worth it imho. T1R makes goo stuff but if i want the bride seat look i will buy brides.

True that, especially on the track. How many lbs is "ultra light weight"?
