Tenzo R seats in a Protege?

I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about installing aftermarket seats in a 3rd gen Protege ES. I'm looking at the Tenzo R rally type sport seat-



Tenzo only supplies mounting kits for Hondas, Acuras, and Mitsubishi. How could seat bases and sliders be obtained or modified to allow installation in a Protege? Thanks in advance.

200 bucks each? Thats cheap as hell! How much for the brackets? Those are usually difficult to find.

Has anyone thought about racing seats from Monza? From what Ive seen, they're not too bad and come in a few color options.

sparco makes the brackets. i got mine from nopi for like 60 bucks each. you need the seat rail adaptors too. i think they are like 30 each. check online, they should be on there. if not, i can get them for you from nopi here.

So then who makes a decent racing seat that is relatively low priced? I know companies like Sparco, Corbeau and some Tenzos are up there in price. How does everyone feel about Cobra seats? Are they any good?

The guy that run's that site is on www.protege5.com, and he has the Tenzo R's in his P5.

If you want to contact him his username is KYMP5.

EDIT: His car is the 3rd one in from the left in the bottom pic of my sig. You can kinda see the red on his seats pokeing out.

Yeah he runs in. It is the Internet Sales division of S&S Tire (Big Tire Chain here in KY). He's a pretty cool guy, he should be able to hook you up with them for a good price.
