dude, those suck...

Just kidding. I love those. Do you mind filling us in on where you got them? How much? I wish I had them. Can you adjust them just like the stock seats?

Holy Jesus, those are PHAT!!!!

OMG... you have to tell us where you got them/how much they cost.

Did you install them yourself? How hard was it.

what sliders did you have to buy to make those work? Or do the bolt into the stock stuff? I was thinking of having leather (black with red inserts) installed because I don't think that the racing seats will be confortable when driving 600 miles which I do once a year to NOPI. Not sure though. How do you like em??

Too Sweet!
A couple of questions though:

1. Do you have the part # for these?

2. Will these affect side-impact airbag deployment?

3. How easy were they to install?

Thanks.

Again - these are super nice!

They are nice seats, but...I know a few people that have had them, and after being used for a year or so, they tend to fade from the sunlight...then they look like ****, so if I were you, I would get your windows tinted or put sheets or something over them to keep them looking good. I had Jamex seats, which use the same fabric as those, and they faded from bright blue to a light blue, and hopefully you don't rub against the B-Pillar or the door, or the fabric will get really thin as well.

other than those issues I have had, the seats look great, only I would have bit the bullet and spent a few hundred more for some Sparco's....just cause I learned the hardway.

Other than those minor complaints, they are comfortable seats, and look really nice

Tenzo seats,
I have Tenzo R Rally seats http://www.mmrusa.com/tenzo.htm and they are kick *** they hold you like big glove and they are very comfortable. Click the link in my signature for pictures. If you have a 02 protégé Tenzo has seat rails for your car check it out: http://www.mmrusa.com/seatbrackimports.htm
I did the install my self. It took me a whole weekend of trial and error to get the right height and position. But what I ended up doing is cutting the old feet of the OEM seat brackets and attaching a cross brace between the feet with aluminum angle-iron I bought at ACE for like $10 with stainless steel bolts. Then I bolted the universal Tenzo sliders rails (you have to purchase them separate) to the cross braces between the feet. And Bingo you have custom seats. You are also going to have to remove and extend the inner seat belt attachment with some steel 2”widex1/8”thickx6”long strapping, because the inner seat belt attachment is bolted to the OEM seats. I got some 7/17” forged eyebolts and used them to replace the bolts holding the seatbelts in so that I could attach a four-point harness for race day. Lastly I bought my seats from Mantaray Motor Sport www.mmrusa.com for $480 for the set plus S&H and universal slide rails $60.
