looks great, very comfortable, but a PITA to get in and out of the car. Not sure I'll keep them in the car. I might put my sports seats back in the car, and just use these for DE's?

when get in or out of the GT3 seat try to put ur left hand on the door sill area & right hand on the steering wheel. put the weight on the left arm kinda support the body then jump out. that way u'll find it alot easy to get in/out also u don't wear out the leather. also move the seat all the way to the back helps too.

give it a try!

I've been getting in and out using the hand on the sil and the wheel,...I guess I've been to lazy to slide the seat back

Lord I hate the thought of taking them out and putting them back in, cause you have to unscrew the roll bar.....what a ***** that was. Me and Silver word 5 + hours on this project

Yea I had help from a friend. Worked our *** off, but didn't break anything.

Using your emails and Rocketmans site, we found the instructions easy to follow.....install was much different
