I think the seats looks awesome man... I am going the cheaper route, and just getting some seats out of another car (I like apollo's from the Prelude) As for getting the APC logo out.... is it just embroidered on?? If so, you should be able to cut the stitching a few times, and pull some threads. You'd never know it was there... If it's screen printed on, that might not be do-able.

wow, fast install!
Speaking of seats, my seats for my Z arrived in the mail yesturday. They are 1991 CRX si seats. I'm not sure if they were really only in the 'si' models or not. But they are exactly what I wanted. Black and all.
I think I've seen those APC seats for $150 each at the GI Joes around here. That's usually a cheaper store than Shucks.

good tip on installation. I was wondering about that. On my truck I just drilled away. I didn't want to do that to my Z's floor if I could help it.

I paid more than $100 a seat for my Honda seats. but I've seen them go for more... eBay is always the most expensive but sometimes you can't find the stuff anywhere else

I saw a set of seats from a starion that were already modded for a 280 on ebay a couple weeks ago.. I'm kicking myself for not getting them... I don't think anyone bought them, but now I cant find the sellers info.

Red, you could always remove the covering on the seats and use it for a pattern to make covers out of whatever material/color combo you wanted and just have an upholstery shop stitch them back on. If you cut the material yourself it shouldn't be that expensive to have them redone. They'll charge you rediculous artistic/custom prices if you let them do the cutting though, like its friggin' rocket science or something! Just a thought, since people were asking.
