Those look pretty nice! Do they only come in black? Either way I think they'd look good in your car.

Putting some TRD logos on them doesn't mean the seat (and especially) the harness up to par.

Do NOT use harness if your car doesn't have a rollcage, or at the very least, a roll bar. If you want reclinable sport seat, get something like Corbeau (which is the only company that makes the seat brackets for Solara). If you want good harness, again, get a 3" brandname one.

Your life isn't worth of look of the TRD-wannabe items.

i thought recaro seats cost more then that? i agree with impact on this one..if you get belts get known ones like simpson, takata, etc.....besides you can always get seats and add teh logo on later.

they look like bmw vader knock offs kenny why do you need racing seats your not a racer lol :drinking:

although they are for safety issues, those sealtbelts look troublesome. if i were a cop i would pull one over if they had them. makes me wonder whats under the hood to require something of that nature.

thank you impactx! i was also lookin' at these seats but wasn't too sure if i should get them or not. the only real thing stopping me was that the seller doesn't ship them out to Hawaii. i'll prolly look into some corbeau's. what do you guys think about tenzo's?? the rally style seats?

I don't like those seats I personally like Bride or Sparco. I would not get seats that said TRD on them, it's kinda tacky. If you want TRD on your seats I would just get custom skins for the stock seats. As far as saftey goes I would leave the seat belt alone, go with something that is quality as others said your lifes not worth a TRD embelm. I defintily would not buy a saftey belt of ebay, Saftey first.

Good Luck on the seats
These are the two I like

Nick
This one is $587

This one is $616

IMO unless you plan to go racing anytime soon, get seats that are not rated for track use. anything else is a waste of money.

I personally like the seats and a bracket isn't a big deal I don't think, you can jsut drill new holes in the floor or the brackets I think. The belts are shady though. If you want a harness like that, then you should go with something like Chikara. I think those are illegal though to use in a passenger car.
