    I am thinking about these for my 360 Spider, red/tan car. This is a pretty modern design and I am not 100% if it is a good match or not. What are your thoughts?

    I don't think it is a good match, at least not in my car (coupe) maybe the spider would work better?

    I think they would look great. Curious if they would fit or not.

    I think it won't look right. The design is too modern. Depending on the price they may be good to just hold on to. I have never lost money on Ferrari parts.

    Off a 458 I assume? I think the seats look great but not sure how they would look in a 360.

    Most people don't know a 360 from a 458. I think they would make the interior of your car look more modern. They definitely look more comfortable. The OEM 360 seats pinch my shoulder blades.

    Me too, I cant imagine what my coat size would need to be to have them be the right shape!

    Seats look great! Those 458 racing seats are same design as Scud seats.
    I thought of getting the same exact type of seats in black/red stitching for my 430 but the ones for sale were more than $12k and "luckily" someone else bought them to ease my temptation!

    If the price is good, they would look great!

    I think they would look great. Even better if they are made of pleather and do not have the pain in the A$$ maintenance of real leather.

    They are nice but I'm not sure they'd be a great fit in a 360. I personally like Daytona seats in V8 Ferrari cars.

    If the carbon race seats from the CS look great why wouldn't these? As long as the leather matches the interior. Think about 360 wheels on a 348. I think the seats will look awesome.

    Do you know if they will fit, both mechanically and electrically?

    I think they would look amazing. A great update and better than Daytonas. I hope they work.

    Another member has a set in black in a Modena so they should fit just fine. Not sure about the electrical but I have manual seats and honestly, I would prefer to remain that way. I really don't need the weight of a motor for the once a year that the seat gets moved.

    I think they would be wonderful.

    A little edgy but there is so many soft lines in the 360 it can handle it.

    Is there a sensor associated with the original seats? I ask because I pulled the OEM driver's seat out of my track-day Miata and installed a racing seat. From what I understand, this disables the driver's side airbag.

    My understanding is that 430 seats will fit but the 458 rails are different. Can someone confirm?

    A quick update. I got the 458 sport seats and they are in my 360, tan leather with red stitching. Looks fantastic!

    Fit in a 360: They are not a direct bolt in but they aren't hard to fit either. My mechanic didn't have any real problems putting them in. The front of the rail doesn't bend down like the 360 seat so you have a little work to do. I believe he had to drill a couple of holes to use the existing mounting holes. The only tricky part is to get the holes in each rail exactly correct so that the adjuster locks in on both sides correctly. Be sure to measure twice before drilling.

    I am 6'6" tall and these have more headroom than my standard manual seats. They have more head room than the power daytona seats as well. I would say that the 360 sport seats may give a little more headroom (less than 1/2") BUT that is because you slouch in them quite a bit. That hurts my back so I wouldn't get them. With these seats you sit a little more straight backed and they really hug you nicely. I find them super comfortable and I gained 1.5" or more over the old seats.
