They look pretty for the first couple months, then the stitching and seams start to come apart...thats what happened with mine. You're getting what you pay for them.

check the list of seat swaps in the faq, you can get a pair of nicer seats for a lot cheaper.

I really like my TrailMax Pro's. I got them as a birthday present a few years ago.
If you're a gross fat person who eats like a pig and looks like one, or have legs that comsume alot of space or rise up abnormally, or have legs that Colonel Sanders would be proud of, you may not like these seats. They are made in China and the fit/comfort level is what I would expect for that region. Myself, I like mine. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Since the TrailMax Pro's sit taller than the stock seats, you might be SOL. Taller folks tend to not like these seats. They start to feel crampt.

I got a pair of the basic black vinyl seats with sliders/risers for $200 off craigslist.
The old seats were total junk so right off the bat they were worth it. My issue is that I'm a stocky 5'8" Canuck The BT seats sit a couple of inches higher than the stockers. I can only pull it so far forward or I'm strangled by the seat belt. I can't pull it too far back or the pedals are too far and steering way-out-there-like cramps my shoulders/neck after a while. It's a balancing act for me but they beat the hell out of the previous raggedy POS.

No, I'm 6'4 and weigh 250 pounds. I have a pair of these sitting in my garage, on a long ride they would hurt my back. I ended up going with chevy cavalier seats, nice and comfy. If I get them messed up beyond being able to clean them, I go down to the local junk yard and give them $40 for another set.

yes, they are a direct bolt in. They sit about an inch higher but with my long legs thats okay. Mine came out of an 01 model I believe. Pontiac Sunfire seats work too. Just do a search, theres a thread on here that talks about all the different seats that will fit.
