Q:
Very cool, but it'd be cooler if it had a slot for a submarine belt.
A:
Are these seats sold outright or on an exchange basis? Can you swap standard seats for sport seats with harness holes?
A:
I purchased a perf. black hide from Lotus trim shop and am having my dash pieces done, Right now I am only having the pieces on the dash that have that perf look in the plastic.
I am also having the Elise logo embroidered in silver on the air bag panel piece of the perf. leather.
I may do the side sills in the perf leather as well, I have enough just not sure if I want to do that yet, if so I will pad it slightly for a bit more cushion to rest my arms on.
I don't have the leather seats or that trim package on my 05, I wanted the crank windows and no carpet, plus I do like the cloth seats in the summer. I have talked to a Etalker about trading his leather seats for mine but he backed out after he put up his request to do so. Not sure I want to do the trade though leather gets very hot here in Florida's summer.
Not sure if I will do the plain leather on the rest of the dash panels/gauge pod or not, will see how it looks with just the perf. panels done first.
When it is done I will post some pictures

How about the dash? I would love to see a leather dash, much like a F360/430. Anyone do this yet?
The Trim Shop won't do it, but I've heard someone's working on it.
I've seen a cool prototype with some extra gauge pods built in.

It's an outright sale, no trade-in or core exchange.

Check out the Hurricane seats if you want an anti-sub belt.
I've got one sitting on my office floor if you want to try it out David.
A:
Have you sat in a Probax seat yet?
i have sat in a probax seat...its definitely better than the 05 seat but not worth spending the $$ to upgrade to. If I'm going to shell out the bucks I think I want to find something that is alot better than my 05 seats.
What about this hurricane seats you guys are talking about.

A:
The Hurricane is pretty comfortable.
Not a cushy luxury car seat, but the shape is quite good, and the side bolstering is excellent.
Of course this probably has more to do with your shape than anything.

OIC. Seems like it would be a PITA, but I think well worth it.

Do youhave any pics of the hurricane seat?

Hey Robert, does the orange on the hurricane seat match up with chrome orange, or is it redder?
A:
If you are interested in what the Lotus trim shop can do, check out the bottom of this thread:
I literally drew the design I wanted for the panels on the door and they did a pretty good job. You can specify the stitching color or leather color on places where it makes sense to do so.
I've got the 06 seats - I only sat in an 05 once. The 06 seats do not have the bladder pump but apparently they don't need it. I even spoke to Probax in the UK about this. They claimed they did some study that showed that (once you got used to them), they are better than the 05 with the lumbar support.
On the other hand, I've thought about selling my 06 seats to get the Exige sport seats since they have the harness holes. Haven't taken the plunge yet and $2500 is a lot of money for seats.

No cutouts for the shoulder belts?
A:
Nice!!! What color are those inserts, officially? Is that magnolia?
Sorry it took me 2 days to reply Matt...they are perfed Magnolia with carbon fiber leather mixed in.
A:
Seats look fab...and Robert and B/watch are the best ..for anything we know that ...

Yup 'tis mine but our dash is different
A:
Can the seats be made without the crappy cloth on the edge? Can it be all leather? I absolutely hate the cloth!
