personally, im a big fan of get the real thing or nothing at all. i try my hardest not to skimp on anything, but there are things that will pay to skimp on. never know until you try, good luck if you get them!

I think those are the first off name seats that actually look pretty nice. I don't think you need to buy brand name seats if don't care about the name. What you often need to worry about is quality of materials and confort. Most cheap seats i've sat in are pretty uncomfortable. The bigger problem is they use low quailty materials, that's where i think the actual savings comes in.

Safety is an issue but seats are so simple. I'd be much more concerned about the brackets and sliders than the seats. You would have to really cheap out on a seat to make it unsafe. The other critcal thing would be the belts if you go with a harness. Not just the quality of the belt (again, you really have to cheap out to make a bad belt and still sell it) but mostly the quality of the harness bar. From what i know, using a harness is not legal in cali. Nor is removing airbags though.

I think they look good..but the only thing that keeps me from getting aftermarket seats is that it wouldn't match my car at all..i would have tan interior and cloth rear seats haha...

You could get the rear seats recoved. Many of the big seat companies will sell you material. If you go with leather though, i think you get the rears for about $300 from katzkins.

Arent you worried that you would buy them, and you would not fit in them correctly? Like perhaps it isnt wide enough and your waist doesnt fit (not calling you fat), or the lumbar isnt what you expected, or maybe you have a wide back and the wings are too narrow. I drove a WRX once, and the seats were great but the wings were too narrow (I swim competitively so I have a crazy wide back). Just something to think about. Maybe you could ask the company the dimensions of the seat to make sure it will fit you comfortably, I mean, that is the goal after all. They do look really freakin nice though!

I think they list dimensions, but im average sized guy 5'9" 170 lbs, which isthe size the designer probably had in mine. As for me not liking the supports, ANYTHING is better than the stock seats. our stock seats have to probably be some of the least supportive seats around, which makes sense because accords arent race cars.

Good lookin seats, I have a feeling that the leather will rip from where the harness access point is. Lets hear how they are when you get em it and take pictures!

If I ever had the money I would just get RSX seats. I hate having tan cloth seats
