In that case, how's Sparco's seat compare to that of Bride's? Are they almost the same weight?

Dunno the exact weight of either. Mine are hella lighter than stock though... figure about 25 lbs for the Sparcos... however, if you buy a top of the line Sparco race seat, you get the same materials and quality for cheaper than Bride's mid-level lineup. I think top of the line Sparco race seats are like 7-10 lbs.

Ya I think they do? Really not sure though... Cause if you can order online, I think it is reasonable to ship it home.

Nova_Dust, how are your seats white??? I don't get that... did you have them re-done or what? Go with a black interor. It's a classic colour that'll never go out of style. Red will look pure *** in a couple of years Plus attracts a lot of thieves... it's like a beakon for *steal me.... STEAL ME!!*

My seats came white. I told my friend that I wanted white seats. So when I picked my car up, it already had white seats, sun roof, cd and a/c.

Btw, I like black seats too, it echos the white, not a bad combo... but she still hates it, she wants the seats (if I am buying one) WHITE!!!
