Default Tuner FX Racing Seats

I just snagged these up at a flea market sale last weekend for 50 bucks for both of them. They sale for around $190 a piece w/ out shipping. Anybody ever heard of these before and know if they are worth a crap? I still have to buy some universal brackets for them though.

First time hearing about these seats, there are way too many replicas these days and its hard to keep track of all of them. All in all, $50 isn't bad at all.

for 50 bucks you get what you paid for... if they dont last... then you only lost 50 bucks plus the price you paid for the brackets.

How do they feel when you sit in them? Comfortable? Can you see yourself in them on long drives?

Have you sat in recaro's or sparco seats before you bought these? In my experience, i have sat in cheap reclinable racing seats, sparco and recaro seats. the sparco's support you more but the recaro's are more comfortable. the cheap ones i wont comment.

I think what he's getting at with that epic fail is that the girl failed in getting a decent prom date, since she's hot as hell and the guy she's with looks kinda nerdy.

you get what you paid for. they really arent as bad as these people make them out to seem though. i got a pair and theyre ten times more comfortable than the stock seats, they look a hell of alot better, and theyre just better than stock seats in general. its better than stock, but its not an "awesome" brand.

werd. the reason i havent bought some recaro knock-offs is that i dont trust china brand seats. the only seats i will buy are OEM or SFI/FIA certified ones. but for 50$ they dont look bad.
