Default FS: Custom Racing Seats and F1 Style Steering Wheel R170

These came out of my SLK32 but are a direct bolt in for the Crossfire and would be a nice upgrade for an SRT6. One could probably devise a way to stitch an SRT6 logo over the AMG on the headrests if that is an issue...

Pair of custom built one-of-a-kind racing style seats combining factory bases on carbon fiber shell Cobra Misanos; custom upholstered with factory matched OEM quality vinyl bolsters and surrounds with grey ultra suede inserts; AMG imprinted headreasts; factory power tilt and raise plus power lumbar inflation; can be fitted with racing harnesses. Very snug in the seat and side bolsters hold well in hard cornering. These seats cost over $4000 to build and were removed from my SLK32 when I sold it. Both are as new and maintained covered in air conditioned storage since. $2500

Also have matching steering wheel available in stitched ultra suede and carbon fiber finish, squared off bottom, with functional SLK55 paddle shifters in matching CF finish. Cannot ship with airbag due to shipping restrictions. $600

Plenty of leg room and seat goes all the way back, but the seat back needs to be adjusted with less recline at full rear setting to stay off the headrests/trunk shelf. Probably a bit more leg room than factory because the seat is deeper. I have a friend who is just over 6’ and he had no issues driving my car. But it is narrow in the seat between the bolsters...not for someone with a really large derriere. If you are familiar with Cobra Misanos they are pretty narrow.

Are these seats lighter than stock? Most importantly, are they still available?

They are not really lighter as they are built on factory bases, which is the heavy part of the factory seat. Obviously you could build racing style brackets and drop significant weight if that’s the main objective, but you could do that with the factory seats. In my case, I thought it was tricker to incorporate the motor functions of the factory setup, particularly moving the backrest motor outside the seat. And these tilt forward to access behind the seat, Unlike the stock ones, which was something I always found irritating about the factory design.

Yes, still available, please PM me if interested.
