Re: Bucket List

you might be right, i haven't (can't) make up my mind... i think the price surprised me after pricing having the bench redone.. on the wrong side of 60, us kids and our rice idea;s, next i guess i need a spoiler and a fart can muffler..

my back may not thank me either,,

Re: Bucket List

You need to factor in your size too. Many of those seats are built for smaller waist sizes than some of us guys have.

Re: Bucket List

The right bucket seat offers alot more support then a bench seat could ever offer. That being said, stay away from any aftermarket seat made in china. You get what you pay for... Ive seen chinese made seats that have snapped in half during an accident, Which can cause you to break your back.

Maybe look for some buckets out of a Newer style car?
