Has anyone here bought these seats for their MX-3 and installed them?

How are they? Fit, size, etc?

They look like pretty nice seats.. that shipping charge is a killer though.. I wonder where they are located. If you do decide to buy.. I can offer you assistance since you arent that far away from me. I can help save you some shipping costs if your willing to drive a bit. Just thought I would offer.. not too mention I would love to check out your ZE once you have it up and runnin

Haa haa! That's funny. It's very nice of you to offer though. It was just more a curiosity thing. I don't have the cash at this exact moment in time but if they fit good and look good, I might concider it one day. You aren't that far from BC though. You should go to the Annual West Coast MX-3 Meet in Kelowna, BC this year. It's Saturday, June 25th. There are a few guys coming from Washington. We're heading out there on June 23rd and coming back on the 28th. There will be 7 MX-3s in our Alberta Convoy.

I was thinking about getting a set myself, i like to see a review of them before I waste my $$.

I agree. I don't want to take a chance on something like that. Especially with a huge shipping to Canada fee and then probably customs on top of it. After all that, I might as well redo my seats.

Here in the netherlands some MX-3 owners have done a groupbuy for those. They are very satisfied with them, but installing them requires quite a lot of work.

Well if they were satisfied then that's a good sign. Installation wouldn't worry me too much, as long as the finished product looks good and goes well with the car's design.

I was planning on it actually.. was gonna do a surprise cameo and just show up with my bone stock MX-3. But then I ran into passport problems from hell and dont have the cash at hand to get the problems resolved and be able to get a passport in time to be there.

There will be other meetings and eventually I will get the passport thing taken care of. But I need the cash to ship some stuff and I have my truck to finish, and I am planning/preparing to swap my ATX out for a MTX.. still researching this a bit too.. not sure of everything I will need yet, but as you can see.. I have somewhat of a full plate of projects for this summer with only so much cash to spread around

I definately will be going to Oktoberfest in Leavenworth though.

Hope the show goes well.

THAT LOOKS GOOD

Now the next question... how comfortable are they? Does it make getting in and out awkward. A friend of mine has that problem with the racing seats in his Nissan.

That's just as important as appearance to me. I don't want any that would kill your back after an hour or two.
