All,
I am not coming up with any hits from searching the motorsports thread.

An aluminum racing seat similar to this one:

Thanks for any leads!!!

Steering wheel is easy, any of the Pug 206 WRC kits has a similar wheel included.

With the seat, I think you're outta luck.

I'd be pretty surprised if you couldn't scratch that seat up with some thin styrene in a couple attempts at most? Seems very simple, and you can use a straight edge to make the good, sharp creases. Once glued to the seat part of the seat (....) it should hold. Or use thin brass.

I guess since it's so thin maybe some plastic sheet cut to shape would do...I'm just looking for an easy way out Will!

I would make the seat out of an aluminum sheet, it would be easy and fast and good looking.

Absolutely. You'd need a complicated jig to thermoform those bends in plastic. Aluminum or tin sheet would be easier and, like jano11 says, good looking. You can roll back the edge around some wire. If you're using tin, you could even solder wire along the edge.
