I was wondering if people could post pics of Red buddy club seats in their cars...I searched and saw old posts and was wondering for the people that have them, do they tend to fade or not? I have brix's in my car now and my brother n laws cant fit in them so i'm deciding to sell it and get one regular and one wide version of the buddy club seats. I just want to hear what people think about the material. I know people say they're comfy but i dont want the seats to fade to pink or something

thanks for any help

 

the buddyclub wide isnt that large. Im a size 32-34 waist i wouldnt want to be any bigger and try to fit in it.

 

but ive read people weighing like 170+ around 36-38 waist size fitting in...i guess if my brother n laws still dont fit they juss gonna be short and find another ride or something

 

you may fit but it wouldnt be too comfy, Im 6' 175 ish...i dont remember the last time i weighed myself. Up to you, just wanted to give you some warning

 

They fit on me on wide buddy club seat perfect.. IM 6 feet and weight 265.. My waist size 40 and up.. I have no back problem or say Im uncomfortable to ride this seat.. No way!! I love them alot..



Sorry I cant find full pic of the seat in my car!!!

i'd like to know too...from all the buddy club seats i've seen in track cars, only the suede part seems to fade, thus it was only fading on the shoulder part next to the window.

 

To answer one of your questions, yes, the suede material fades and turns to a brownish color if you park in the sun enough.

I've had a blanket/sheet from British airways and I always cover it when it's in the sun

But the other material, the twill mesh, the red doesn't fade to pink does it?

I am thinking of selling my Black Buddy Club narrow seat for either a RED one (since it fits me so damn well) or if I want some bling bling (lol) upgrade to Zeta III or SPG. But I wonder if those have fading and/or wear issues.

 

ahaha naw im a skinny ***...i'm 140 and am not worried about fitting in the reg, im more worried about the passenger side for my passengers lol...but even with my weight/waist size (32), the brix that i have are snug...

thanks for the heads up guys i guess i'll be purchasing one reg and one wide version of the buddy clubs in red...hopefully my hardtop and tinted windows will keep it from fading too bad...

but as blackdc5 asked, the red twill doesnt fade to pink does it?

 

the seats fade.. after a while the suede turns brown..

the regular cloth fades too.. brownish black.. but thats after a few years of direct sun..

i have a set its af ew years old.. the fabric is still holding up fine.. no rips/tears.. but its faded... still looks alright.. heres a pic..


im 5'7" ish. and 140lbs.. i fit perfect into the normal BCs,, i wear a 30-32 pant size..

**********For the money.. you cant go wrong at all************

i love the seats..

 

tight fit..

Oh ****, I might bring the blanket with me anywhere I go so I can cover the seat with blanket...

make sure its a heavier material..

i used a white towel to cover mine once i started to see it fade.. didnt help much..

 

i have a blue sheet from an airline....maybe that **** aint enough

 

seems like too much trouble owning these seats

 

oh well, as soon as i sell my seats, i'm getting these...

hopefully my ht and tint will keep them from fading

i always use a windshield shade, close my sunroof and cover it w/ the british airways blanket. i figure it doubles as sun protection and thief protection.

i'd still do it w/ a bride or recaro...don't want those things to fade or anything

 

how much do BC seats run?

 

i got mine thru evasivemotorsports.com for about 360 shipped to me in IL. i love my BC seat, im a size 32 waste and i fit perfect even with the cold weather i fit fine. its a great seat, i recommend it!!

 

hehe, i don't have to worry about how wide or narrow. i'm a waist 30
