    Looks like a nice seat, but do they really have all that "bride" written all over it does it?

    Where's the groom's seat?

    There are a couple that look good to me and these are one of them but I would contact the manufacturer and see if you can get something without any logos? Like a replacement cover.

    I'm not a fan of them. Very tight seat (I'm a size 32) and not very comfy. I'm sure you could find something better that also looked the part.

    Leave them for the import guys in their civics.

    I've had many Bride seats in my past cars and yea they were comfortable and most were certified for track. However, be aware of replicas as those and many recaros have been duplicated and many copies are really close to the originals. I would go Recaro ASM if you want to go Japanese seat route.

    Carbon street seats are expensive! Wow. I didn't realize how pricey they were!

    I would do the carbon Sparcos if it were me. $10k to 21k for 360 racing seats? Man that's spensive'.

    I used Bride seats in one of my Jeeps a few years back and loved them. Had them set up with a harness etc. Not sure I would put them in a Ferrari though. The ones I had didn't say Bride all over them either. Just once. I am a size 32 and they fit me snug but that's the way racing seats are supposed to be. Not uncomfortable but a nice hug from them.


    I should note you couldn't recline the ones I had.

    Bride makes some very nice stuff as I recall, but does suffer from Japanese/ricer Over-Labeling Syndrome. They produced CF direct-replacement doors for the FD-3.

    $10-21K seats will make ya stutter :p

    Yep but make sure to order them with the twin slot seat belts holes...I can't stand the single hole :eek:.

    I'd also order them with basic covering and get an interior guy to re-do the whole seat with Ferrari leather and whichever stitching I wanted + the Ferrari Logo embossed. Do it right or not at all IMO

    Good reference there. After seeing it there is a new one from Sparco that makes perfect sense for our cars. 1/2 the weight of the stock seat means you can drop ~60 lbs from your car by putting these in over the standard electric seat. hmmmmm!

    Sparco USA

    I used to run these bride seats in my Infiniti G35. They are great on the track, but horrible around town. I didn't mind them so much, but any guest in the car, hated them. They are made for narrow bodied guys. They are built really solid, they just need to be reupholstered.
