Ok....so I was looking at seats...Bride seats are around 1k, Recaro seats can go up over 2k, then I look at the Veilside seat that's in the Fortune FD...it's a bucket, it has leather, the shell is carbon kevlar, it weighs only 10lbs, and it's 680$!!!!! WTF???

Yeah, that's the one, even though that one doesn't look like leather, but damn, it says small to medium sized people....stupid japanese seats meant to fit stupid little tiny japanese people...(no racism intended)

6' 2" 260lbs - Recaro Apex for me
Why the hell do you want FRP? any FIA homoglated Seat is gonna be safe as all hell and Carbon only saves like 5lbs... I could save that much weight by only eating half of a baby.

a friend of mine got a PAIR of S15 Silvia seats for $400, and man are they nice!! They bolt right in too. Some people have a problem with the aftermarket ones being too high. You can't wear a helmet with some of them, it hits the roof.

Recaro Apex is 730+Shipping. if I wanted Cheaper Sparco is about the same thing... but I have a tick that keeps me from wanting Sparco even though they're awsome seats
I doubt you would fit in any Bride without a Type-L in the name... and then it would be a close one. I sit on the bolsters for any Bride Shell
P.S. Bride is Pronounced "Brid"... I heard alot of people say "bride" this weekend and I needed to vent.
P.P.S. that Veilside isnt a racing shell... nor is it Carbon Kevlar. its really inclined so its pretty lame.

And I was rpetty sure i wouldnt fit in the Brids (:P) but i love thme so much lol!! Can I get the Apex in leather? lol I like leather...

I dunno... Im tired... Its a shell but its all pussifyed. its all lean backed and wide and and goofy looking. Basically I think that seat is weak.
uhhh... you want a racing shell in leather... that makes perfect sence...
and its still spelled Bride :P

haha ya, you can also bend the bars a bit to increase the bolster (haven't tried that yet)
obviously it's not as good as those aftermarket seats, but defientley better then the stock feel
