These Summit sport seats deliver the look of expensive leather racing seats, without the expensive price tag. These seats have soft, comfortable, simulated leather upholstery, lumbar and shoulder bolsters for added support, cutouts for safety harnesses, and recline and tilt forward mechanisms. Adjustable sliders are included.

Product Line Be Cool Aluminum Radiator Kits

Redraif bought a pair for one of her cars (not an F-body), and they look pretty nice, and better made than any of the less expensive sport seats. They haven't been installed yet, but look like they will hold up pretty well. Shipping was the typical Summit rate, plus I think about $5-10 extra for the size of the boxes.
Unless someone gave them to me, or I got a really good deal (unlikely on the nicer Pontiac ones, esp in ebony)I wouldn't use 4th gen leather seats. Having owned two fourth gens with leather, I have to say they're the lowest quality leather seats I have ever seen. The dye wears off the bolsters in no time, and they crack fairly quick too, even when conditioned regularly. A set of cloth seats with Hawk's Hampton Vinyl covers (he'll make them for any of the F-body seats, third or fourth gen) is the best way to go IMHO. Redraif installed hers over a year ago, and they still show zero signs of wear. Plus they look like leather, for far less $$$ than real leather.

yeah they are 1/8th what my corbeau leather was and look very similar in pictures. for the price i would buy them. they aren't as nice as the better models but they could easily be recovered to look much better. not a bad deal.
