This is a link to an EBAY auction that has had my eye for a while now...

I think they look pretty good but just wondered if anyone has any Ideas on them...

Ford Ranger Seat Covers (CUSTOM)

I wanted to put Custom Racing Seats in my Truck but I have 2 problems. . .

#1. I could never afford seats for my truck...
#2.. I didn't know anything about the Airbag System being under my seat. (I used the Search Feature!! and found that out just now!!)

I also wanted to put a Custom Steering wheel in but I have Cruise control.. Although I HATE AIRBAGS!!!! Isn't there some way to shut the drivers side off too but turn it back on if I have to go for inspection...???

 

for one, i dont know much about those seat covers.

for two, if you REALLLY want racing seats, they can be had for like, 100 a peice.

for three, keep your airbags, they seem like a nuisance or whatever, but they can save your life. just leave em in...

 

Where can I find Racing Seats for $100 a piece??? Are they any good???

Oh and as far as the airbags go.. I'm more then likely going to keep them, it's just that I am a Vol. Firefighter and I have seen people get hurt more with them then with out them... But Since I really want to use a "functional" 4-Point harness setup I am willing to bet the airbag would never be a factor. I just can't use a 4-Point Harness with the stock seats...

 

well you can easily shop for other "stock" seats.

Im looking for stock WRX seats....


but hold on and ill find those 100 dollars racing seats online...

 

OK IM SORRY, 160 DOLLARS....

WOW!! Those yellow and black ones are awsome!!! I never even thought to check out JCW... I just used google and tried Racing seat.. All I came up with was Sparco and MOMO.... (OUCH)

I also have full access to a machine shop so I can make mounts for them... What is the deal with these Air Bags sensors...

Just when I think I have this all figured out and it's going to be easy..

 

hey man, id keep the airbags even if you have a harness.

they there to help. here comes my grapic side, where blood and guts dont matter.


Young girl, was riding in her camaro, flying around curves and what not, she lost it. SLammed hardcore into a tree... Well, She had previously disabled her airbag according to a friend.... since she did this, the steering wheel, is now implaed in her chest, and tore up her head. The front of the car, pushed back, at such a rapid force that it just slammed into her. If the airbag would have been there, it would have helped her, and she possibly could have survived the accident.

they are there for a reason... keep emm.

 

Summit sells their seats for 209ea, but they're simulated leather and look really good.

just search for Summit Sport Seats

www.summitracing.com

 

hmmm gildo im like'n yer wrx idea, which year you thinking of?

 

I think 2001-2005 had the same seats

 

man, if I ever put racing seats in my truck, Im going for Bride.

 

cosism, used to have seat covers that looked like that in his sick *** ranger. i have to say that if they are the same ones then i was pretty impressed by how they looked

 

Another issue with taking out the airbags is if and when you go for inspection/safety checks here in CT if your veh. was originaly equiped with airbags they need to be in the vehicle. I had that problem w/ my civic. So if you take them out keep them, they are very exspensive.

 

My roomate has an 03 WRX. the deal is, if find a good deal on some STI seats, ll pitch in for em and he'll give me his old seats.

pretty good deal i must say...

 

Yes very unless they are solid carbon fiber like these bad boys :) 400 a piece X.X

Below is a Spoon style Carbon fiber racing seat (looks narrow as hell)

 

I wanted to buy some them seat covers...

And can't pick the color want...

So i can get the one i want...

 

Check out Wet Okole seat covers. I think its spelled Okole. They're very nice.

I think hes refering to the seatbelt switch in the seatbelt latch

on 01+ disconnecting it will cause the airbag system to deactive and falsh a code

on 98-00 you can disconnect it and not have the annouying buzzer/light when you start the truck


aslong as you retain the stock seatbelts you wont hafta worry about changing the seats, now if you oped for a 4 or 5 point harness some electrical mods will be needed if you want to keep your airbags

 

yea thats a sweet deal.. im kinda thinking about geting into interior mods next year, and just want to keep some cool ideas in mind


i might think about seat covers as well.. my construction job outside of school is gona kill my interior one day

 

i think wowak has those too


yea he does

well after this quota id keep them too.....

now i wish i had them....

 

Those covers look nice, but i would not give you $180 for them or any other seat cover. At one point i was going to replce the seats in my focus with raving seats, I thought I figured $300 to replace the front 2. Thats only $120 more then these 2 covers.

 

Those ebay seat covers are nice, but damn $ 180???

 

go to the "how to" section in the forum and look at the seat conversion. That's what I'm doing on my ranger, I hate the 60/40 bench. I was looking at the 60/40 seat covers and they are all insanely expensive
