Default Sparco Fighter/Konig Charge seat pic request

I am looking for pictures of both the sparco fighter and the konig charge seats in a car, outside of a car, whereever. But not the pics from the website, i have seen those and i don't feel like they depict the seats very well. opinions on both seats would be nice, not which one is nicer cause we all know the answer to that, but if you have it or have sat in it was it comfortable and how did it fit. thanks guys!

I don't have any pictures of either seat other than what is on Sparco's site, but one nice thing about the Sparco Fighter is that it's made from Sparco's Jacquard fabric instead of their competition fabric, which is nice if you drive the car a lot. Jacquard is more durable. If that is a concern, you might wanna check to see what type of fabric the Konig Charge is made from and whether it will hold up.

If you're worried about fitment, find a shop that carries them and sit in them before you buy.

That is easier said than done. The closest Sparco distributor for me is in NJ, 3 hours away.

When I bought my Sparco seat, I used the measurements listed on their site to see what seat would fit best. It still won't gaurantee that the seat will fit to your liking, though.

yeah the spacro site has no measurements for the fighter! just my luck! i will be in it alot, the car is daily driven so the fact that it has that fabric is a plus, no shop around me carries either seat, nor those brand of seats. so taht is an impossibility, thats why i wanna see pics.

I believe the Fighter is exactly like the Pro2000, without the competition spec flame retardent fabric. (but I could be mistaken about that)

mid-atlantic is 10 miles from my house, but from my understanding, they are strictly a wholesaler, and dont have a showroom, plus they dont do walk ins. However, I have heard of people going there to buy seats, so who knows. . .

I also believe that the newest Sport Compact Car has pics of the seats PLUS a rating for fit on multiple waist sizes (from like 28-38 inch I belive) They rate something like "too tight, tight, perfect, loose, etc...". Seems to be the best "virtual fitment" I have seen. Maybe it can help?

BTW, its the SCC issue with the D1GP review... (Apex RX-7 on cover?)
