Sparco Fighters

Well, I finally put these things in. The install was a royal PITA. There are alot of bolts going together in a small place and getting everything tight was damn near impossible...

Here are a couple preview pics. I'm too damn tired to take better pics right now.

Those look very nice in there. I'm getting ready to put a Recaro in my Cooper. Hopefully it is easier done than said.

6'3" and 190 lbs and a 34 waist. They are snug, but they keep me in the seat well. You should be fine and they come with extra pading if you need aditional support.

You could always buy the Sparco Modena I am selling. I'm 6'3, 210, 34" waist and it fits very nicely. Very comfortable seat.

Do they make racing seats big enough for us extra large People, I am 6'4" 300lbs, and I slide all around on my Coopers seats, I would like to be held in place a little better and imagine a set of racing seats would do the job

The Evo II or Evo III would probably be best for you.

Seats look great! I wish I didn't have cordoba beige interior though. Not sure how those seats would look in my car.

BTW what grill is on your car? I have a Dark Silver 05 S, and it has the chrome exterior package. I want to do something about the front grills.
