Some of you probably know that I'm not a huge fan of the Recaro seats in the S550. I feel they are a step down in 'sportiness' from the Recaros found in the S197 Mustangs. Well TMI has come up with a much better option. They have a carbon fiber back and only weigh 32 lbs. MSRP will range between $1,800 and $3,000 depending on the options chosen. Check out the new TMI Viper Race Seats:

Maybe it's just me but theses don't look so hot, not my cup of tea at all. OEM Recaros are WAY more attractive. Just my opinion.

I think the main reason people want recaros is because of the airbags that come in them.
Do these seats include airbags and are plug and play?
The s550 has air bags in the side of the roof. Pretty sure nothing in the seat.

I could be wrong though. I'll have to go out and look now.

I like the TMI seats, but I'd rather have a set without the pointed base.

Sid - What is your opinion about the GT350R Recaro seats you mentioned in another thread when compared to the TMI seats?

I sat in them at SEMA. They are awesome. I have the factory Recaros, which I really like, but these are far superior. They are on my mod list for 2016.
