Default Impressions: Tenzo DTM Type R Seats


$149.95 each

Does anyone know anything about these seats? Do they rip/fade easily? I dont mind their simplicity and I love their price. Please dont speculate, I only need replies from people with experience. Thanks in advance.

Damnit.. I thought I might get lucky with them. If anyone had good experiences with them let me know, otherwise, I'll rule this option out.

Everything fades on em. Mine faded horribly. I wish I had sat in it before I ordered it to. They were WAY to narrow. I'm 6'1" 155 lbs., and I had trouble crawling in and out. I got a rip in it, so I was just fed up and replaced it with an OMP seat.

Nine- have you checked out Dynamic Auto Design's seats? I have two, got them for 400 bucks shipped with rails. I think, well they were having a sale and giving them out for 300 bucks, but I don't know if that is still going on. PM me for pictures, or if someone can give me a quick step by step on how to they are already hosted on imagestation. Thanks.

I'd wouldn't buy any non-reclinable seats for a daily driver.
