    Hey guys,

    I'm planning to install fixed back seats soon (along with roll bar and 6 point harness) to improved my safety setup on track. After getting the chance to sit in a few different seats I'm leaning towards the Cobra Suzuka Gt. They are available in black, red, or blue.

    My car is alpine white and my stock interior is tan. I will be keeping the carpet, door panels, and rear seat in place. I'm debating whether to put black seats or red seats.

    I have seen a few photos here before of white cars with red or black seats, but I'm having a hard time finding them now by searching. If anyone has photos to post to help me make a decision I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks!

    Dominic

    Go with Black.

    I went with red Sparcos, and the color got worn and sun-bleached pretty quick.

    You guys are the best. Thanks for all the opinions and the photos. Black does look good with all the stock black trim in there anyway (dash, console, etc).

    I was very strongly leaning towards black to begin with and your input is helping to seal the deal.

    I realized that I never updated this thread. I got the seats installed back in February. Here are some photos of the result:









    I'm glad I went with black. Thanks again for the opinions.
