Question racing seats display/try - local

Anybody know of local shops that have racing seats on display that you can actually sit in?

'd like to start shopping around to get an idea of what I want and how much it's going to cost me..

I think Street Legal Customs has seats you can try out.

I would like to find a way to sit lower and possibly back a little further for more head/leg room. AFAIK no one has shorter rails than stock yet.

How was the vaca AJ? Go anywhere interesting?
The wife made me go on a cruise to Panama. (Where I am now.) It's weird. I haven't seen a Z in over a week. I feel like I'm having withdrawal syndrome. I need to give my car a hug now. (Oh yea, I miss my daughter too.)

Good idea trying out the seats first Steve. For me, as you may have noticed, I am a big guy. Buying seats unseen is a no-no for me. So I went to street legal and sat in about a dozen different seats. I fell in love with a set of Recaros. Good side support and back support. A secure feeling without compromise in comfort for longer trips. My big **** didn't even fit in the Bride or Sparcos. So try them out there and compare internet prices. Of course, you want to buy local if possible but sales tax may offset saved shipping costs.

none of the tracks up here will be open in January.

In Michigan, Waterford is the most popular road track.

Grattan and Gingerman are both on the westside of the state and many of us run out there as well. If you're willing to drive out of Michigan there is Putnam Park in Indiana, Road America in Wisconsin, Autobahn Country Club in Illinois, and Mid-Ohio in, you guessed it, Ohio. We really do have a wealth of tracks in our area.

We're really spoiled here in the metro area as far as tracks within comfortable driving distance...

^^ INGS Stream Aero Kit 350Z

I just found another angle photo of the front. I see why no one has it. Must have been drinking when I picked it out earlier.

Here's the angle that killed the sales of this bumper. Needless to say, I'll pass on this one. Just wanting something not very common. Right now, I have a V2 front end just like hundreds of others on this board.

Still here.....planned to put it away on Sunday but it was too cold. Will probably wash and put away either tmrw or Wed.

Don't think the kit looks that bad, if I were you Brian I'd go chargespeed.

You're not parting out the Mona Lisa of the Z world are you????

Don't forget to also post in the North Central Marketplace. It's a good spot for locals to find your FS threads.
