It looks like a good seat. I was looking at a sport type seat and am thankful for the suggestion. What do you have to look at as far as fit with a center console? Here is a link.

I run away from anything with the APC logo on it. Their stuff is notorious for being super low quality and made with inferior parts.

I looked at a seat very similar to the APC not long ago and it was OK except for one important feature....it didnt have a quick release to bring the seat forfaord to let people in the back seat, you had to roll a dial forward and back. That would get old after the first time. The APC seats are the same way.

69Vert is right, they require a "crank"... worst idea of all time, you'll sit for 10 minutes trying to get it into position. A friend of mine has a set of them... quite possibly the worst quality and horrible design. I used to sell APC stuff at my store... i finally refused to even look at their products because %40-60 of the "OFF THE SHELF" parts were defective out of the box. I cannot stress enough how low quality APC is.

Reshired: I love my Corbeau's... The only thing i wish i had done was to get the "wide" version of my seat. I have a narrow waist and big shoulders which kinda get bunched up in the seat. Its not that big of a deal. Corbeau makes a great sport/street seat.

I would also want the wide. I too have wide sholders but stay wide a good ways down also. :-) Im also tall and have trouble getting into and out of a camaro. That seat doesnt look bulky and leaves more room for the driver.

If you are tall like me... i'm 6'1" and 180lbs. The corbeau seat tracks move the seat back about 3-4", giving you a lot more leg room.
