I really hope you are kidding. This has to be a joke. You want to rip out your stock leather seats that cost around 4000 dollars for a pair and replace them with crap is like 250 dollars a pair.

You can probably pick a set up at Walmart, Autozone, or Ebay. Either way, I will laugh at you.

Please sell your car now before you ruin it.

Boxer dont do it, if you want true JDM seats check out this site. More Japan Since 2003

PS. the bride seats that they sell on ebay are not authentic and replicas built out of canada

The seats that I am talking about are not cheap. They have carbon fiber backing and are leather. You have to look at the website to see what I am talking about WhosUrBuddiee. They are nice seats. I am looking for weight reduction and style

Its not the price bro. Tenzo seats are not know for their, well, quality. These seats are popular in Honda's etc... This is a 40+ thousand dollar car. They might weight less but thats bc they used cheap products to make them. Do it right the first time. Look at Bride, Takata, etc....

Good luck

I will take a look at the Bride but I have a feeling that will just keep my factory seats. All the cool little controls they have to keep your azz in the seat. You are right I would not want to put in my car what all honda driver's put. I race them kind of cars and they get on my nerves.

Yeah bro you dont want to cheap out the car, keep the seats stock, there are other places you can skim on weight like rims, spare tires, jack etc....

How much weight do you really think you are going to save? That is the worst reason. You do not own a race car.

Tenzo is in the same category as APC.

If you really want weight saving get lighter rims and 2 piece rotors.

I have the rims on order right now. It really was for the carbon look. Your right I don't own a race car. I want to own a super car because then it comes with all that. Know what I mean?

Thanks dude If you really want the get up and go you might wanna change the final gear drive to a 4.08

I know its a long thread but read up on it, its the same feeling as having a small 4 psi supercharger..

I had a very nice set of Recaro seats in my car back when i first got it. Tenzo is really cheap and poorly made. no matter how Great they look, they are not track approved in most cases. Hence you will still put your stock seats in. Go with Recaro, they are seriously the snizzzel
