As long as you get the right kind and color of seat I do not think that it would look too bad. But at the same time unless you race the seat will not be of very much value and if you do race then you would only need it in the car while you race. Has anyone invented a quick release system for seats?

One seat is fine. I personally bought two seats so they could match. It is not ricey since it still provides a weightsavings on the passenger side as well. When I have a female or heavier friend in the car, I usually put the OEM stock seat back in. When I race it is one single bucket and nothing else!

Lol you can't combine those two and let that person in the Z now.

I think it's kind ricey not having the 4 point seatbelts with racing seats.

They look really nice, good job! They would be even better if they didn't have the sparco branding across the headrest. I hate being a rolling advertisement for the products I buy.

Do you autocross/track/drag/ any type of aggressive driving with a passenger?
If you have the coin get two, if you cant dont worry, your passengers will like the stock ones better....

I got them direct from Sparco @ the Nopi National's in Atlanta, M.S.R.P. was $699 each, I paid no where near that though And the brackets set me back around $300.

I don't drag often, usually auto-x once a month, and track every chance I get. I love them! Still going to get a harness bar at some point too.
