I really like the red and black theme. I'd get those blue seats covered.

yeah i know. paint is so far away though that I figured it might be fun to take a look :P the red and black paint has been aging, its defiinitely gonna need to be freshened up. I had a red/grey and a red/white theme saved that my cousin and I had worked on, and its basically the same as pictured, but I hadnt seen it in any other colors yet. That got me thinking and I figured I might as well digitize it better, so that I can play around with colors and see what I like

I've also debated dying the seats as well. But in any case, for the time being they are just good seats

sweet! i'm gonna do that with the mustang seats when I put in some race seats.

I've had them out a few times when working on stereo and whatnot, and they're surprisingly comfortable in a house setting!

I bet the stockers outta yours are gonna be even better than these unsupportive recliners I have lol

I don't know what it is, but there is definitely something alluring about using car seats as chairs in your room. Hell while I was racing on the ps3 earlier, i discovered that the blue racing seat fits perfectly between the armrests of my large desk chair and i had a blast!

I could furnish a whole house with all the spare seats I have laying around lol

After using even the IIs crappy stock seat in my room for a few days, it just makes so much sense!

I spent a lot of years drooling over that car. that build was so simple and so good all at the same time. it pulled .99g on the skidpad and was running circles around much more expensive builds when they tested it.

Too bad I cant get the fiberglass leafs he has though. That company went bust a little while ago. Something about totally ruining the enviroment of the area in which they were based

Drivers seat is in

It's a little bit cramped using the stock II seat mounting on the inner side. I had to drill new ones on the outside, since they were wider.

I may eventually move the whole thing back an inch or two. I could definitely use a little more legroom. But for now, lets just call it "cozy" lol

Nice! Now take the passenger seat out completely and get you one of these to ride around with you on your adventures!

I had a bad thouhgt, and I"m sorry... just aksing... some of what you're doing, wouldn't California have issues with? The bumper, for one?

I'm just curious... I really don't know. I like the bumper idea, just... concerned a little I guess. Wouldn't want you do to all that work and then... not be able to run it about because you're not legal with CA... Of course, you could just run around anyway, sure.
