Fibersteel Seats

I am considering replacing the standard VS seats in my car with something more authentic looking. I came across Fibersteel's site [ http://www.fibersteel.com/Seats.htm ] and their seats look really good. Has anyone had any experience with these seats and do they easily mount in a VS Speedster or are modifications and new rails required?

Holy Heck!! Colton!! Haven't heard from you in a looong time!!
You are in PA now?? Man, you shoulda made it to Carlisle. Woulda been fun to see you and your fine ride again. Dude, we did some fine cruizin! I think the last time we saw you was at the wine tour in MD. 2004(?).
Good to see you posting again.

Hey Bill, I did take a sort of "hiatus". I moved to the Philly area last year and my company has been growing like crazy, so that's been taking most of my free time. I check in on the forums from time-to-time, but haven't posted much. I am thinking about having my standard 914 seats from VS replaced with Fibersteel's Speedster Outlaw seats and was hoping someone had an opinion. Their site is unclear on whether the seats even come upholstered and Russ hasn't returned my email. I heard Carlisle was great and for anyone near Philly, the Conshohocken classic car show is taking place on Saturday, June 3. I might be there for that one. Hope all is well!

Colton, do a search on Fibersteel..... you may find some of the customer feedback interesting.

Colton,
Vintage now sells seats that look just like the Fibersteel ones. I just got a set in my car and they fit the old tracks.

Theron,

Do you mind if I ask what they charged?

Theron,

Thanks, I'll give Kirk a call today. Are they the "outlaw" style or traditional and do you have any photos?

Thanks!

Colton

Do those look like these?

Brian,
They came with the car. I just had the modified style seats in it because these weren't ready in the right color. Kirk sent me the new ones and now I need to swap them out.

Ricardro,
Yes those are them.

Thanks for the photo and confirmation, those are the type of seats I wanted.

Those are the ones Kirk calls "Spyder seats". A lot of people find them uncomfortable but I don't.

i had those seats for a week. they were like wet spaghetti noodles. every time i hit a corner, they would flex to the side. couldn't get them to work right, so i swapped them out. sure love the style and the added room...

I have those seats and love them. No problems with long distance, when we drove to Paso, they were very comfortable. I think they look great to, very sporty.

long distance? what's that?

For long distance go to Walmart and buy yourself a pair of regular dining room chair cushions and you will be set!!!or at least you butt will lol

What is long distance? Long distance is 4500 miles, This trip was taken in Speedster seats from Oklahoma thru AZ, up the CA coast and into Montery, Yosemite, Kings Canyon and then thru Death valley on the way home. It wasn't me, I wish it could have been but I have Roadster Seats in my Speedster. This was about a three week trip, right Jim?

As you know Dale, I broke the vaunted BG 8 Hour Speedster seat record during the recent trip... not just once, but three times! It was great seeing you and Michele and it would have been fun to have made the PCH-Big Sur to Yosemite run together. Your Roadster seats in a Speedster are very cool and correct... but you know that my friend. Next time?
