Appearance Question

I wanna do these SPARCO EVO 2 seats in black with black SPARCO harnesses.

Will this clash with the beige interior?

That's one nice looking car .. I agree, that Evo2 looks stupid, but then again, I have a big fat APC logo behind my head... I'd say go for it.

that is one gorgeous looking car you've got!

i'm assuming it doesn't come in the same color as your interior, in my little ol' opinion I like the interior to be the same color. Just outta curiosity, what is the purpose of those types of seats?

It looks like the seats you have in there now are good what are you planning on doing with it, I personally dont like how those look in these types of cars. Thats my opinion though. Very nice car.

Black seats in a baige interior would look okay seeing as how your dash would be all black.

However with the amount of money you have spent on wheels and making the outside of your car nice, imo those seats are really ugly, not to mention the fact that i dont like sparco in the first place. Why not get a set of something nice like some corbeaus?

you need to somehow get rid of the yellow on the seats then youd be good to go.

Thanks for the compliments I apprieciate them! And the advise...

I keep changing my mind on seats, colors, seat type and so on. I'm so glad I didn't buy anything because I don't wanna buy something sell and redo type of thing.


Reason for racing seats:
I plan on having some fun at some local road courses events and thats how I want to set the car up. I'm lucky I get to drive the car once a week a short while. I want to not move when I sit down and hit the wide open track.

Those seats are popular for the road courses and popular in C5/C6's. I figured if thre good enough for that they should look great in my car.

Without going overboard my goal is overtime to build a clean, mean, road course machine...There is come yellow Z28 Emblems on my dash and of course the instrments are yellow.

I dont know I will proabably do these exact ones.

Those are ZE Forged wheels. I think the seats would look ok. You should switch your interior to black that would look even better IMO, thats what I want to do.
