Re: Carbon Kevlar and Carbon Fiber Seat (WhoisDan)
I have to agree with BPR... that looks like my grandma's couch right there... instead of investing on bling seats for your car, invest on a bling couch for your house! 
But yeah, I think flex on CF/Kevlar is ok.

Re: Carbon Kevlar and Carbon Fiber Seat (WhoisDan)
I remember seeing a video of Leh Keen driving a 911 GT3RS and the seat flexed like crazy. He said they were all like that, and these are the seats produced specifically for the GT3 racecars, so I'm assuming there's not a problem with them.

What's the difference when they're covered with padding and cloth? I sure wouldn't be able to tell them apart.

If you think your seat flexes, compared to buddy club (ABS) and brides (CF & CK) it barely does. BTW, your harness is mounted VERY incorrectly, just to let you know..

That, and then when you get a rollbar, have the harnesses wrap around the harness bar for mounting, instead of having them bolt to the back seat area like that. Really though, the rollbar bit is the most important part, the other thing is just the better way to do it.

Well not dealing with the issue of the rollbar (although you SHOULD have a rollbar and a helmet if your using a harness). But I was talking about your harness in general is VERY improperly mounted:
-Your shoulder straps (in back of the seat) have too much play due to the adjuster being too high (the adjuster should be near the bottom by the hook bracket for the eyebolt.
-Your rear straps are also not double looped, in a impact those things look like it can slip right off, sending you straight into your steering wheel.
-your crotch strap is ALRIGHT, but there is a better way (more comfortable and more secure) of mounting it. Since yours is a 6pt. and not a 5, you can hook up your crotch straps to the side bolsters where laps straps go through. This way, you sit on top of the crotch straps while the lap straps mount above you, basically "saddling" you up which is safer on your nuts during impact. I'm hoping your understanding all of this.
(btw, if you don't have the instructions that came with your willans, heres a pic of how the rear straps should be wired up)
Peace.
