Review: Cobra Nogaro seats (uniquely street friendly fixed back bucket seat)

[lvm3sm46]

Pretty much both rails but best bet is to find someone parting out a car locally or junk yard

The seat belt receptacle is attached to the stock sliders.

As for the outer lap belt attachment, if you use sedan sliders it will have an attachment point for the outer lap belt

Do you know how much of the stock slider assembly you use? I'm looking on ebay for sedan sliders and it's a bunch of parts on there that I'm sure I'm throwing out.

That would drive me crazy if they didn’t line it up

Obioban and anyone else who have installed seats with the B-K brackets- can you explain how exactly the stock seat belt receptacle attaches? I'm guessing that it is part of the stock sliders, so has nothing to do with the brackets, but I just need confimation, as I haven't taken the seats out of my car yet.

Also, has anyone besides me been stupid enough to try and install aftermarket seats into a cabriolet? I was going to go Schroth Quick-Fit Pro, but there is no way to attach the outer lap belt, as the stock setup is entirely contained in the seat for a cabriolet. Although it's just a mounting point, so maybe there is a way to mount the belt on the bracket or the slider?

Where can one order the "thin bum cushion"?

I looked at the oem ones they dont line up either, honestly never even thought about it until you guys mentioned it lol.

They 100% do. I have never seen an OEM set of seats that don't line up. Sometimes there is slight offset on the rear seats between the upright and base section just because of the way the back seat is constructed but its normally not more than an inch out. Surprised your upholsterer didn't line them up by default, that's normally a given when working with a tartan style pattern like mtex. Most important thing is that you're happy with them though but that's the kind of thing the upholsterer should have known to get right and you could probably get fixed for free if you have material left. The OEM seats are trimmed such that they line up when the thigh support is fully extended but it's easiest to see with the spacing of the red lines.

Those bottom inserts not lining up would bug me to no end.

I'm thinking Leather outer, mtex inner and seat heats, hopefully I can figure out something to use in the way of seat heat that requires zero wiring loom modifications, trying to keep that to a minimum.

Just grab some stock seat-side connectors from a junkyard/ebay and modify the heating pads instead of the harness on the car.

Vinyl was fine for me, way too rich for leather, but would be awesome. Bad pic but looks amazing.

PS wow thats actually an awful pic wtf pixel6pro, seats are brand new and so is the mtextür. Gonna need to remedy that. After installing them I needed to get rid of the oem center console and the arm rest, so this was to put in new arm rest delete.

Do you have seat heats, if so what's the low down on parts used
Man I need me some of these.

How many of you are opting for the leather outer portion?

We put a set of these with the Vinyl outer in a 996 GT3 and I think that looks damn good to my eye vs. leather. I was told by HMS that the leather would last longer if properly cared for but the price difference was quite staggering.

When it comes to the M3 I'll spend more attention to detail (and money) as the Porsche isnt really driven that on the street all that often. But if anyone had some good photos or opinions of vinyl vs. leather that would be great.

Related question. Anyone who has had these trimmed to mimic the CSL seats, what fabric did you use for the centre panels of the seat? I'm assuming everyone's using Alcantara 9002 for the outer portions of the seat, but can't seem to find any consensus on the centre panels, On the basis that the original Amaretta Reflex fabric is unavailable I've been trying to find the best substitute.

TIA
