So I'm thinking about switching out the seats. I have a lot on my plate right now and don't want to spend crazy money. I came across Seibon seats in black cloth with Yellow Carbon Kevlar back. I am considering these because I am able to get 2 of them for around $1200. I would only be able to get one recaro/status seat for that price. My questions is, do you guys think the carbon kevlar will clash with the rest of my CF interior. Should I just hold out and get seats with black CF backs? Here are some pics of Benzboi's kevlar seat so you guys get and idea. Below are some pics of the actual seat.

Not a big fan of the yellow backing and accents, I think it would clash with the CF. Maybe you can get the seats and wrap over the yellow?

I dont feel those seats man sorry.

I have seen a CLK before with stock seats but the rear cover was all in CF.

I was having my doubts also. I would really love something like this. Black Alcantara seat with CF back.

The Seibon seats were pretty good, as I recall. Very comfortable. We used them while I was at RENNtech on the GLK SEMA car (a few pics, below). Call Mikey over at Seibon, I'm sure he can get you whatever other photos you need.

That actually doesn't look bad. I wish they made them with the CF back.

I thought they did on special order?

I sent them a message on their site and they said that only the yellow kevlar is offered right now. I would have bought them already if the had the black CF back.

sorry bro ... just not feeling the seats

dynomite05

How about the Status seat I posted above?

ahmadk

they're better... I guess

dynomite05

I guess you're not feeling the whole racing seat idea, huh? Neither was I, at first. It grew on me. If it's done correctly, it will look good. I have to keep the alcantara/cf theme.

ahmadk

You're right !!
maybe it will grow on me 2... who knows

Yeah man I'm not digging the colors...clashes with the scheme way too much...will rather Hirt than help that beautiful interior set up of yours...

not a fan at all... unless it's a track car don't use racing seats. they are a total PIA to get in and out of... no heat, limited adjustment and totally ruin the lux
look of a MB IMHO. Remember that the mod bug bites hard, but keep the old adage in mind.... just because you can, doesn't mean you should

FastDonzi

these seats are a bit too track oriented.are you planing on tracking ur car Wes? if not,check out Cobra's Misano anniversary sport seats.those are really hot bro

Clkboi

I like those FastDonzi. Dyno maybe thats another option.
Luxury yet very sport

Clkboi

i agree.

M-bENZ

I always keep that in mind .

yo wes, i like the seats that donzi posted better.

but remember, being able to adjust the seat is pretty important. also since we have the coupes, keep in mind that you should get one with a the can fold upwards so you can get people in and out of your rear.

Clkboi

i think he is trying to remove the rear seats completely

bheng

lol oh snap. yeah i forgot to add that part, if your trying to remove the rear seats, it would pretty sick to get buckets.

just keep in mind that this is MB and not a rice rocket

tasho3

is this the same GLK? I saw it at MB of Hoffman Estates, IL. pretty wicked!

buffyclk500

y dont u just paint the black cf

I would never buy a seat that isn't adjustable, those fixed back shell seats are down right awful for comfort. Unfortunately when it comes to racing seats, there isn't a compromise between price and comfort/safety. My personal favorite brand is Sparco (Milano Prestige) and that is exactly what I would go with if I decide to keep this car long term, but they are NOT cheap.

When I was living in Canada my track car was also a semi-daily driver in the summers, I used to drive it on a few long trips and the Corbeau seat I had in it were wonderful. Very firm but easy to adjust for comfort as well, ordered them in micro-seude or whatever they call it;
