Congrats...awesome!
Actually those seats are very comfortable for daily driving. We have done a set of those in our Nissan GT-R build. They were originally made by Tillet in UK bit I think the new ones are made in-house by Password:JDM.

Wow! I never would have figured a pure carbon fiber seat to be comfortable...looks great and def a weight saver though I would have to think there is a fair chance those seats will get scratched and scuffed from jeans, buttons, loose change, etc...which is a really a shame since they are so beautiful.

Yeah, they are roughly based off of the Tillet seat, but we significantly modified them to a) fit better, b) remove a couple of weak spots, c) reinforce the mounting points, and d) adapt them to be more compatible with different mounting assemblies. There's also a 1" wider T2XL for the big boys.
We're in the process of getting them FIA certified, which is no small undertaking as it turns out.
To top it all off, we make them from scratch right here in Downey, CA.
So there's that. And as far as surface scratching goes, mine are holding up pretty darn well with very few signs of wear (And I wear those silly jeans with the buttons on the pockets when I go out). That's one of the benefits of true pre-preg dry carbon: There's no surface finish applied after it comes out of the mold, so you're not trying to scratch paint, but the super tough epoxy and carbon matrix.
I can't wait to hear Keith's feedback on the feel once he's had a drive in them.

couple questions
1) do you slide around when taking turns (pretty fast)
2) When you do wear jeans w/ buttons on the back pockets (eg. True Religion), does the button dig into your ****?? I would imagine a hard seat wouldn't be too forgiving
3) you must feel anything/everything in your back pockets
4) how comfortable are the seats for long distances
Obviously there has to be some disadvantages that go along w/ the weight savings/looks advantages.

Peter, ACG will be building my GTR next year.
Thank you for the panty dropper pics.
I don't ever in my life thought I would say that about an AMG's interior.

Sorry Will, I didn't see this until your email...
Seats alone at $1900, plus brackets, sliders, and pads if you would like... I will be hosting a GB on these for those who are interested!
all parts are in stock and ready to ship... and I'll even do something that most shops don't normally do...
If you need these seats now! We charge you as normal, but once we get this GB going and if its a GO, then i'll credit you back difference, BOOYAH!
