Should I put these seats in?

ACHAHockey · 11-14-2006, 06:20 PM

My Dad just sold his 1994 Ferrari 348 Challenge car. Before he sold it, he took a few things out that he liked. He took the 2 OMP red Challenge Seats out. The seats are red, and say omp on the lower part of the seat, and then say OMP on the head rest, as well as "348 Challenge". These seats are very light, we weighed them, cant remember how much they weigh though. He told me he would be interested in putting them in my car, he has the brackets to mount to my car. So, should I do it? I have no pics of them, but this is the closest i could fine. Opinions?

I would do it, why wouldnt you do it? just because it says 348 challenge? If they are comfortable enough for you driving around then go for it if you like them.

Me I would most definately do it.
1. They are lighter
2. They look damn good (IMHO)
Worst case scenario you have them reupholstered if you dont like the color/embroidery or you just go back to stock. What have you got to lose?

ACHAHockey · 11-14-2006, 07:56 PM

Exactly what i was thinking. The seats themselves, near the butt part would get a little uncomfortable, but i could have that part reupholstered. As far as the embroidery, i think it looks badass.

I say do it. OMP makes good stuff. find out how much it would cost to have them reupholstered, if it isn't to bad go for it.

ACHAHockey · 11-14-2006, 08:13 PM

^Well, the seats came with these pads, different sizes that have heavy duty velcro on them. I could use them.

***520*** · 11-14-2006, 08:17 PM

i say why not, its not like you cant go back if you dont like em.

STI_Mike · 11-14-2006, 08:18 PM

Where's the love?

The red will definitely stand out like "HEY LOOK AT ME, I'M A SEAT AND I'M BRIGHT ****ING RED!"

But, give er a shot, why not.

mxpop · 11-14-2006, 09:11 PM

can you dye the seats to a diff color?

either way, i would do it!

do you get the harness too?

you know that you are gonna lose your side air bags...

***BoostJunkie*** · 11-14-2006, 09:20 PM

Do it! Ferrari seats in your STi=ballar status.

Mochenmat · 11-18-2006, 09:14 PM

um...OT....pics of that Ferrari?

scottjua · 11-19-2006, 12:05 PM

I would do it... but don't reupholster them or do anything to them that would change the original look/materials. Once you get tired of them (if) you can sell them to Ferrari guys for a very good price as long as they're in their original condition.

The seats are awesome but is reduction of weight worth loss of side airbags?
