Picked these up at a junkyard after sitting in a friends car. These ones are out of a 2009 Scion TC. Black cloth like material and wayyyy comfy.
The driver seat has adjustable lever for raising lowering the back of hte seat and a knob for raising and lowering the fron 1/3 of the seat.
If anyone is interested I can explain the mounts easily.

Also practicing my photo upload ability after becoming a contributor.;D

Thanks for the contribution. They do look great. How much $s if you don't mind me asking? The mounting looks pretty straight forward. Was there anything out of the ordinary that you had to do?

I picked them up for $350 for the set.
The front mounting brackets just needed to be flattened out.
The rear mounting brackets needed to be cut off and I welded a tab perpendicular to the rear slider pointing inwards. I then drilled the mount hole in the new tab. Was not able to use original holes, but with how low they sit, they are awesome. They even have the side lift tab so it will tilt forward and slide forward at the same time (a little fast though). The Scion TC seats are the same from 2005-2010 I believe. I picked mine up from a t-bone wreck. Also have to remove the electronic crap from underneath.

For the seat belts, I ordered the WH lap belts but the female end was too long. I was able to get the shorter matching female end from WESCO so I could use mount for the seat belt that came on the side of the seat. I jsut had to drill out the mount hole a little.

There's a set on craigslist here in SA for $250 OBO. Not the way I'm leaning right now, but they do look nice.

I have no idea. This is my first EB and the PO had crappy racing seats in it. The only thing I know is I heeded everyone's warning about seat hight and when I sit in them they seem like they sit low enough. Although I only drove this thing home and have yet to get it out on the road since. I'm 6'0 and feel they sit low enough.

They look great! Awesome find! I bought the WH 3pt seat belts from you a little while back. I'm just curious as to why you decided to use the lap belts instead of the 3 pt. belts. Thanks again for the great deal on the belts.

How goes it? Hope the seatbelts are working for you. I just didin't like the setup from those. I will eventually get a 3-point set up but I needed to get something in place for now. I figured the lap belts are an easy remove and replace once I figure out the exact 3-point I want. My buddy has an older CJ7 and I like the ones her has. For now though it is what it is...

Do those have airbags in them?

Actually yes, they have the side impact air bags. Although they will not do much good since I removed the electronic wiring from underneath. It does have that stupid little tag that says "air bag" on the side but what are you gonna do.
