Buying the Jegs race seats. Any experiences?

I am re doing my interior all together and adding a roll cage. I am going to replace the seats with the simulated leather race seats that Jegs offers. Does anyone have any experience with these. I'm worried that the back portion of the seat will sit real high and wide and won't look right. The factory seat is narrow.

Every 5-pt seat I've looked at, ends up being like 6" wider than my seats (4th gen seats) so I never bought any.

Good luck finding a narrow seat.

What was 6 inches wider? the width of the seat? I really want 4th gen but there is a real good deal on these Jegs ones right now on Craigslist.

At the shoulders. Way too wide for my skinny a$$!

I realize that are where those side shoulder "wings" stick out to, not the back cushion itself but still......
