Mighty Nice ...Interesting Seats, they look like a modern interpretation of the originals. What is the source?

Those seats are Recaro built for the 2000 and up toyota celica, had them skinned like the original seats.   I have pins in my hip and they are the only seat I can sit in without long term pain issues and I think they came out pretty good  ;)

I got it three years ago and I'm kicking myself now trying to remember where I got that spoiler.  It's fiberglass,  it's very sturdy, came primed, predrilled and ready for paint, only needed a little trimming on the ends and it was only $75.00

I'll keep looking for the mag I found it in,   Maybe I should just get some made from mine.

CID440,

Great job on the car and the seats.  I am also interested in what you had to do to mount the seats in your car.  I know that Summit Racing sells some universal mounting brackets and slider's for mounting aftermarket seats.  Did you use a similar mounting bracket or did you have to fabricate something custom?   Also, having the seats skinned to look like the back seats was a really nice touch.  How expensive was that?

Very nice - both of them.  I like old-skool Japanese cars almost as much as American muscle.

Probably a MAS fiberglass frontspoiler. I got mine from them, too bad they went bust! :(
