Default 03 350z seat options and opinions

Hi everyone!
I just sold my corvette and I'm a new 350z owner as of Monday. I am curious on my options and your opinions for seats to swap in these cars. I got a great price on the car because it does need some love, and one thing it needs badly is seats, they are separated right down the middle of the leather on the bottom section.
My question is what seats fit in these cars nicely and what seats have some of you swapped in? The heated seat option is kinda cool but I'm not a big fan of how the oem seat looks anyway nor am a a very big fan of leather. Also I'm a decent fabricator and I don't mind welding up brackets or rails to retrofit some good looking seats.
I was thinking of purchasing some oem evo 8 recaro's because they are a good looking, comfortable, nice seat for a very reasonable price but I would like your opinion in case they wouldn't dimensionally fit.

Thanks for any help in advance.

How deep is your wallet?? Im rocking sparco r100 because ot matches my red and black interior. I wanted brides reims but for 2k per seat thats about 4.5k total and i dont think it was worth the money.

I would imagine most oem seats would fit since the Z is not small. Since you can weld up mounts, I think your choices are pretty open.

I personally run a Sparco Pro2000 and like it. Depending on what you want out of your seats, I think most oem seats are not going to give much support.

I would not discount the stock seats in the 350z. The seat structure is excellent. I recovered my stock seats with Katzkin's leather, and the result was great.

Give the OEM seats a chance, you should be able to find a pair of gently used seats at a decent price.
Nissan put a lot of work into them, I've had my z for over 11 years and they've been great for me.
That's just my .02
