Show me your FR-S seats!
 

Looking at ideas for seat covers/swapping seats.

If you guys don't mind and have bought/replaced seats/seat covers, please post a picture!

Also, any cheap recommendations that make seats look good, please lmk!

Otherwise:


:needpics:

p.s. yes, i've googled, searched and stalkeda few FR-S/BRZ owners to look at their interiors.

I really would like something like:

excellent fitment for covers. nice.

this pattern is cheap, ugly and everywhere. don't get it

Sard seats look amazing! i'd jump on the SARD seat covers, but the logo is an eye sore.

I've got the sards as well, but in red (see build thread). They're awesome, would highly recommend to everyone.

Thanks guys, really grateful for your responses. I guess Cazzio's are not favored and liked as I thought? I really like that cushiony look.

Sards stretch at all? Any issues with the PVC?


I really want leather/pvc covers, just can't find many reviews or pics. Options seem limited, thus far.

I ordered Sard covers from 86worx like 4 days ago, told me it was on back order and not coming for 2 months (very sad). I recommend sard from all the pictures I've seen from the owners it looks legit if you install them right

I, too, have the Sard racing seat covers. They fit like a glove on the seats. Honestly haven't seen another cover I like better and would def recommend em!

I've got an idea! Lets put leather covers over our cloth seats so we can slide around during heavy cornering, brilliant! While were at it lets make it look like a fucking quilt!

Just wondering what effect these covers would have on the in seat air bags. Not sure I would want an airbag going off in a constrained place right beside my torso.
Anybody know if they took that into account?

Uh what?

There are airbags in the sides of the seats that will deploy with a side impact.

Interesting... I doubt the seat covers made provisions for the airbags

Someone at the factory that makes these just face palmed themselves haha

I doubt it too. Since the airbags are deployed by an explosive device and are designed to head in a very specific direction I am not sure that containing them in an unyielding leather wrap would work in the driver's favour.
This is probably one of the very rare occasions that disabling the bags may actually be a god idea.

You're not going to be cornering heavily in a stock fr-s safely or strategically. Most guys i know who "corner heavily" has already invested in in a good setup of coil-overs so they wouldn't slide around in their cars. But if it really bugs you that much get a safety harness. But I've slid my car around without sliding around in my car.

I see that the Sard's tuck into the sides of the bottom cushion of the seats. Do they ever tend to start coming out after repeatedly going in and out of the seats?

At what point did I say I slid around in my FR-S?

You stated that there is a high possibility of sliding in a leather seated car while cornering.

As compared to a cloth seat, yes. Look at that picture. Those covers nearly level out the bolster. If I were to drive that car on my usual spirited run roads, I can guarantee you my legs would shift.

Is this OK? Or should I go get myself a harness?

Nope SARD took into account the side airbags in the seats and these are safe to have over top, no need to disable airbags. They used special stitching in the areas to ensure the airbags would still deploy properly.

Thank you! I was going to research it but that saves me the trouble. Certainly makes a case for avoiding cheap knockoffs though as I would be very surprised if they did the same.

I'd stay to get a stiffer suspension set up

No problem, I did a lot of research on seat covers and the SARD's are my top choice by far

I am not after covers but was really curious about the whole airbag thing. It is one of those things people don't know about or don't think of when they mod.

Stock seats redone in black leather
 

I have black leather redone by coach automotive when I got the car from the San Francisco dealership. I've always really liked their work and it came out really nice in my car. Over a year later some leather in the back seat near the button to lower the seats started coming up a little and this wasn't a big deal at all but Im kind of anal so I called them and they came to my work took my back seat and the next day returned it completely redone in new leather with out costing me anything. They did a good job but it was a little pricey. http://www.mycoachleather.com

Clazzio does:

thanks for the new pics!

You guys think that instead of buying leather seat covers, I PVC wrap the stock cloth ones, it'd be better long term?

Then again, should I get sick of one color, with covers, I can swap it easily.... or blah then again...I can buy seat covers to wrap... man I'm too tired at work atm.

thoughts to be continued...

Depends if you're looking at customizing the seats with a specific color and stitching then you can go Katskinz or Clazzio. Katskinz are leather seats not a cover so expect to pay around $2000, Clazzio are covers and are around 500 but imo look far worse than the Katskinz. If you are ok with Sard's limited colors (i.e. black and red stitching, black with blue center, and red) then they make probably the best forming pvc seat covers I've seen and are about 500. Theres a few other smaller companies but those are the big 3 to choose from that I've seen.

I'm hoping someone that has these seat covers will chime in...

I was thinking about getting the red and black ones.

I got this ones, price little high but great quality and the fitment is almost perfect....

So what does a stiffer suspension have to do with sliding around in your seat?

-alex

Less body roll of car. If you have stiffer suspensions and your ass is sliding around the car that means your controlling your car's g-force very poorly.

ha, i love my quilted clazzios. as for the side airbags, it designed with a rip away seam so it shouldnt impede the airbag deployment. i cant say for sure since ive managed not to crash. Theyve been on for almost 3 years and holding up nicely. fits well and i dont have any tears. This particular pattern isnt for everyone since 99% of the owners here prefer racecar builds. I prefer a more posh vehicle tho so these covers fit with my car very well

They do offer a little bit of padding which i find super helpful. before i got the covers my back would start hurting in longer drives and after i got the covers on, ive gone on 6 hour drives without any back pain. may not be the case for everyone but this is my experience with them.

also clazzio has some more modest designs if you want something abit more understated. I ordered mine from http://www.guerillaracing.com/scion-fr-s-clazzio-seat-covers/

Know what?

I "slide around" the same amount in a stock car as a modified car. The seat will primarily determine how much movement you have when you sit in the car, not the suspension.

Love these as they remind me of the MK1 MR2 seats...

That said, I have never liked leather seats. I was so happy the 86 did NOT come with them standard. Just my personal preference.

what kind of covers are those?
