I'm looking for a Red Leather Gear Boot and a Black Leather Handbrake Boot, Benny ; do you sell or make these? ... I was considering painting the door trim NB8B insert, anyone do them in leather?

Here is the Side and Rear Views - CheyneX5
The headrests are just great when all you have had is a neckrest, owners of NB8A''s will understand.

Thanks, there was more involved in the planning and measuring - it took a full day for the first seat and 1.5hrs for the second one.
Total cost with the seats was around $580.00

I bought them new via an EBay store located in Melbourne, cost was $294 for a pair.

OKIBI posted pics of another brand to fit NB8A in another area of the forum.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

at around $250 ea for the NC seats it seems an absolute bargain- you could not buy the covers for that price . I imagined the cost of NC seats would have been much higher.

Same weight as stock?

There were some S2000 seats read leather look nice too, only 800 for the pair but I think they are really heavy....
every ounce counts
