Default My Japanese mail-order Brides!

Well, I finally got my sliders and brackets to mount my seats on Tuesday, so my buddy Daniel and I put them in. They came out really good! Everyone seems to like the way they feel, and they look like they belong in the car!

The seats are Bride Euro II's in black. The sliders Recaro, drilled by them to fit the seats, and the brackets are made by Wedge Engineering, who were recommended to me by Louis from Invision Performance. Here's a few pics of them installed:

Wow VERY NICE!! They look very similar to R34 GTR seats. Do you mind disclosing how much they cost you w. sliders?

I spent just under $1800 for everything. I picked up the seats when I was in Seattle from a fellow forum member for $1300, which I think was a really good price. He'd bought them but sold his Z before he ever installed them, so they were technically used, but had never been installed. The brackets and sliders cost me about $485, about $50 of which was for 5 day turnaround on them.

Now I'm debating whether or not I want to go the harness bar and harness route.

Very befitting for the 350Z. Any plans for a 4-point harness?

I've been thinking about that a lot. I really want to get the Sparco harness bar and a set of Takata harnesses, but people keep telling me that it's really unsafe to drive with harnesses. I autocross a little in the summertime, so they'd be useful for that, but as much as I make it out (about 3 times a year), I'm not sure it'd be worth the $1200 if I was only using them for autocross. So I guess I'll debate on it some more before I make a desicion.

I think new seats are almost needed in the Z for anyone that drives hard.. My stockers just don't grip me in enough for my liking.. Which is a shame cause i actually like the look of the stocks.

Plus I'll miss my heated seat..

Those look real nice. When did Bride start putting the logo in only the front of the headrests?

This is a piSSer for me I was gonna import some Asian women, feeling soo cheated right now. I have been saving for a rainy day, plan was to use them up then pawn em off to a local **** co. and reap some dollars $$$$.


How do sleep at night teasing honest Americans who are trying to support the Asian community?


The seats look damn nice, glad you got a great deal

Is it the angle or does it look like a dent where you shaved the emblem? Maybe just a bad camera angle?

Nice seats btw
