[Steve Tillett]

Thank you! Please let me know, if possible I'd like to get an order placed before 12/31.

Here are some pictures of the red leather version.

We typically only do the one black friday sale per year, but we have free shipping when you order a pair currently.

Thanks Greg, I'm kicking myself for not ordering late last year but in my defense, I was "in-between" Emiras and hadn't found the replacement yet. The good news is I'm patient!

always do the pair for the most savings

100% That's why I was waiting on the passenger fix. Now, the new Emira is here, but I'll patiently wait...

The red seat looks so good!
My plan is to only get one for the driver's side, so that my passenger can still have the heated seat and side airbag. Wonder if anyone has done that?

The idea is good but it looks crap. Give your passenger the full racing experience ;-)

Thanks Steve! I wonder if those are mine, that's the exact spec I ordered last month.

That's exactly what I ordered. I can send a pic once I get it installed

They could well be as they were being packed for shipment Friday.

In my mind, it's a great addiction to have.

@Steve Tillett I like the curved shape of the B9s better than the angular B10s. Has any one installed B9s in an Emira? If so are there any pictures?

How would they fit compared to the B10s in the car? Lower, higher? Can they be angled back? Do the same rails work?

How does the B9 compare to the B10 as far as comfort and support goes? Similar amount of bolstering?

I’ve sat in B10s before and the only thing that felt “off” for me was not a lot of under thigh support, maybe I’m just used to the long base of factory couches but I felt like my legs were hanging a bit.

For reference I’m 5’7” 150lbs. Anything info would be appreciated!

The B8/B9 shape will fit easily in the Emira with the TEMIRA1 bracket kit. The B8/B9 shape has a straighter lower back than the B10 but they will still be perfectly comfortable. At 150lbs you would require a panel set and we can trim them in the Emira style. People have put the other shapes in but I don't have a picture.
One thing I do find is sometimes people sit the seats too upright. Then the front goes down and the under leg support is lost. It's usually better to have the seat with the bolts set parallel and then pull the steering closer.
During use the body is properly supported so you will not notice the foam missing under the legs. If you do we can make a support cushion such as this.

This is rarely required though.

Finally got mine installed. Need to play with the adjustments a bit but so much better than the stock seat!
