This guy is reproducing them, and has a pretty decent pic in the ad.

Ok i might need to look it up, but didn't scott bakken have an empi rear seat in his car (on of his cars/ sepia?) and he had speakers if memory serves me right.

What is the knob between the seats for, and what do the back side of these seats look like?  Are they finished on the back side, or just raw chop gun looking?

nicolas you're right about scott's seats
but his speakers look too modern , i woul dlike to do a mix , under new one or used one i've in my black car , and add some old speakers covers on  ,and doing something to put an Ipod or my cell phone to works with them , like this i don't have to put a radio on my dash ;-)

brian there's no finish , just the fiberglass
for me it's a kind a light cigar ; but not sure

Hi, not a relevent question but are they much lighter then the normal seat.

sorry for the off topic.

Probably around the same weight when its all fitted etc.....

I would imagine its pretty "Thick" fibreglass to give it some strength......

You could always get Rob to make a "Race-Weight" one  ;) :D :)

I've never weighed one but they are much lighter than a stock seat.

I stand corrected  ;)

Eddie, Just the basis either the complete seat ???
if it's just the basis  , may be same weight , i never weighed mine , but i removed mine last sunday and that's not heavy
