corbeau makes a wide version of theire sport seats. and they make the brackets that will bolt right into a thirdgen. I have the regular size ones and they are pretty comfortable as well.

Re: fat man friendly race buckets

About the same as the factory seat, both are a little to much for me, I needed a t-top car for extra clearance, in both cases I have to lean the seat back, I lose some viewing area on windshield at the top

Re: fat man friendly race buckets

Try a set of Fiero seats, they are great for clearance and are bolt in.
