Q:
I replaced the plain upholstery on the Sector111 Tall Person's Seats with some custom upholstery that has a script Elise on the headrest (thanks to Michael Sands for the .pdf file) and had a twisty yellow road design put onto the seat (photos attached).
The work was done by King Kovers in Fremont, CA. They also helped with the design.
A:
Enjoy those twisty road seats.
Isn't that the S1 Elise font?
A:
Looks great, those seats are a good fit for me... too bad they aren't readily available.
A:
I may need to get some of these seats.
No for a few questions
How tall are you and what is your inseam? I am 6' with a 29" inseam which makes my torso about the same as someone that is 6'5" with normal legs
Can you fit in the car with the soft top or hard top and a helmet?
Cheers,
Patrick

Here you go Patrick:
I got 1" more head room and 1" more leg room and, most importantly for me, some more hip width. Check out this thread:
I imagine you could get similar headroom out of a reverie CF seat (without padding on the bottom), but you would also have to accept a slightly more reclined driving position. Don't know how much more headroom you heed to clear with a helmet.
That thread also reminds me of the lightnsight fiasco.

Hello J,
Thanks for that.
I need more than the reverie will give me, or I need to recline it even more.
I need about 1.5-2" more (than stock) to fit with a helmet on

Chococar,
Is this the place:
King Kovers at Fremont CA
40965 Albrae Street
Fremont, CA 94538 USA
510-659-9090 ?
May I ask how much and how long was the turnaround time?
Thanks.
A:
Hi Spider,
Yes, that's the place. The owner's name is Lani.
They said that it would take 2-3 days, but I went out of town on a business trip for a week, so I just left my car with them and it was done when I returned.
It was ~$900 altogether.
A:
Very nice!

A:
Which seat rails did you use? Did you have to have them custom made?
A:
He's gonna be pissed when he see's what you've done with it!

A:
Yes, I had seat rails custom made. But I think Sector111 is getting more serious about offering a complete solution. Check with Neil (aka The Stig).
