Default Thoughts on Just One Bride Seat?

Hey guys,

I might have the opportunity to just buy one red bride seat (Exas III). I have the stock cloth seats now. I want to get both but don't know if I can afford both at the moment, but what are your thoughts on just having one for the driver side? Any input is appreciated.

Thanks again,
Dan

Do it then just get another one when you can. A red one would stick out though on a black on black car.

Yea, I don't think it would be all that bad though even with the red and other stock seat, although i'd really like to have two.

Not knowing how big your passengers can be in the future, I would say buy the seat and get the stock passenger wrapped in red leather. You allow flexibility for your friends but have what your seat to get the job done =)

Thanks for the input, it seems as though you guys are thinking the way I do. I feel like the seat serves its purpose and it will look pretty good as one. I'm not a big guy waist wise so it will be no problem for me.

Since it is a bucket style seat, it obviously is non-reclinable. Question for the people who have had this seat or similar styles: Is not having the ability to adjust your seat back that big of a deal? I don't adjust my stock seat back at all. I think i've done it once since the time I bought the car.

Thanks Waizzz i'm really considering it now. I just need to convince the seller to separate the seats and get the money together.

There have been very few cruises/meets that I know of that were any good. Or just way too far from our area. I'm going to make it a point to get to more this spring, maybe Nissan/Infiniti Day at Englistown next year. Canibeat First Class Fitment last weekend was really nice change of pace. See you around

. . . if you get the second seat later and install it's not going to match, i.e. fading wear and tear etc. Buy one seat and keep it under cover till you can afford the second--then put them both in at the same time. Just my $.02

If you track or drift, go for it. If not, single race seat is lame. Kinda like a GT wing on a non tracked car.
