The Ivory Alcantara is incredible. Very classy and sporty at the same time. Great work guys.

Saw these in person and they are gorgeous. I'm dying for a set myself. Having sat in the Spoon NSX-R GT's OEM NSX-R seats. These DF seats are top notch.

I also had the opportunity to see the DF seats in red last Friday and the pictures do not do the Downforce seats justice.

Congrats to Peter and Downforce for another high quality product.

Very nice black one!

One question: Did you do tests to get an idea of the ability to take stress of the fabric on the exposed areas, esp. where the OEM leather shows after +-10 years. How does the fabric look like after one year or so of getting in and out of the car. Orelse how easy is it to change the fabric in these areas and how long do you supply this fabric in years?
But my first question is the more important one.

we steam and stretch the fabric before making our patterns to try and avoid saggy / wrinkly seats from occuring.

Anyone installed them and can give a feedback?

Don't want to ruffle any feathers, but has anyone actually received their seats? I am getting a bit concerned, since I have already prepaid in full, back in September. Not to mention purchasing the SOS side mount rails.

Things have been very quiet lately, and my latest email has gone unanswered. My concern is that Downforce is going to go belly-up and I will be out nearly 4 grand.

Just seen the seats in person yesterday from Peter. They look good and are very light. I believe he said he just relocated or was re-organizing the shop so I am sure he will be getting to your emails soon.

[email protected]? you can email me at [email protected] and i will try to get back to you asap. we just received several seats from our upholsterer, they will be packaged and sent out. just an update, we havent relocated, we just reorganized the shop and set up a paint booth. so if anyone needs any paint work done, please feel free to stop by. you can also check out updates at www.downforceusa.com thanks!

Can I pick mine up at your shop?

Over a year has passed since this thread first came about. Where do you guys stand on the production of these seats?

The first set we ever saw was a pair of red leather that were gorgeous! The owner never posted any installed pics:frown:

^ Looks good, except for the fake recaro logo.

we are constantly making the seat shells in house. the patterns / upholstery is outsourced locally.

the owner had the seats wrapped through his own source.

and for those wondering about our full complete downforce set up (seat, switch and rails)... here you go.

I had brought out a demo seat to Gil's BBQ and showed them to local people. We actually finally just received the final piece of puzzle to the seat switch so everything is ready to begin shipment.

UPDATES
RH is going out tomorrow.
JW is going out tomorrow.
WW still waiting for upholstery to finish the other seat.
CL same, one seat done waiting on the other.
HO trying to get status for you on the blue, sorry they keep on missing the deadlines given to us.

NEWS
We also had to test hardware and make sure everything is within OE spec. The torque values recommended on the NSX is 19 ft/lbs.
I finally tested the headroom and it is safe to say that you will gain 1.0" of headroom. Since the cushions we sourced is much higher in quality than the original, we can go thinner on the bottom without affecting comfort/dampening. At most you can only expect 3.0" with no cushions, so if you are tracking, removing the cushions will net you another 2.0". We can offer lower profile cushions later on.



FINAL PRICING
For those of you that signed up prior to 12/01/2009. I will honor the pricing that was posted earlier. As you noticed on our website that the pricing is higher because I miscalculated my actually costs and it could still go up. So as of now I will begin taking orders for those on my list. Please email us at [email protected]. If you are local to Southern California, you are welcome to visit us to see the seats, sit and feel them out. We will be shipping a demo to SOS as well so you can view them there in AZ. We are currently working on the headroom measurements from the SOS manual rails and will post the results very soon.

are the leather outer, alcantara inserts available yet?

Can't wait to get my seats, payment sent.

Finally after over a year waiting to see the progress of these seats they should be here next week.

Add me to the list for NA2R - Black Fabric/Alcantra.

I will post pictures.

Out of curiosity, how wide are the seats from mounting surface to mounting surface and how far apart are the bolts center-center?

Trying to see if there are any other rail mounting options than the ones already proposed here....
