I'm with Vile on replacing the seat with a higher quality aftermarket seat, but I would like something a little sportier than what Qualitex offers (more aggressive side bolsters), you know for when I'm pulling 1.05g through a corner.  :D

Has anybody ever used Corbeau seats?  I was thinking the Sport Seat was a good looker and has excellent side bolsters or maybe even the GTS II.  A pair of seats with brackets would run about $850 (for the sport in cloth), but you would have to make or source your own center console.  Which is fine with me, as I always wanted a conter console that houses a down-firing subwoofer.

I just did one of these for a customers car and built the brackets for him and I gotta say getting in and out isn't a very smooth transition but you do stay in place when driving.

Well does anyone know where some good seats with a center console can be bought for around $600-$800? I really cant justify spending $1500 on seats. I have to have the money for other parts of the truck. :-\

You could always just get one seat and then save up for the other.
