[NB] Lotus Elise Seats (Non Probax)
I have a pair of 2005 Lotus Elise seats up for trade or sale. These are non-probax seats.
They are red leather with mounting holes for a harness. Both are in pretty ok condition, but the driver's side has some obvious wear points. I've been daily driving in them the last year. The passenger seat is in much better condition then the driver seat. Though, a metal brace was added to reinforce the headrest. There was a crease that made it a little flimsy, I don't remember what the previous owner told me how it happened, but it happened before I bought these seats, I made a metal brace for it. You don't even really notice it, because it's paint matched to the back of the seat.
Both seats come with mounting brackets that have working sliders. So you can adjust the position of the seat. Though, if your taller then 5'8, you'll probably just have the seat back all the way anyways. You also sit much lower in the car, basically on the floor. It tends to get a little tedious getting in and out of the car. The brackets are for an NB, I think NA mounting brackets are a little different. Their is also adjustable lumbar support, though I never use it because it really doesn't make much of a difference to me.
I'd like to get $900 for both seats and sliders/brackets. But I'm open to negotiation. I'm willing to ship, but you pay shipping. I also have never shipped an item this big, so bare with me on asking for shipping quotes.
Update: Mounting brackets and sliders are sold! Asking $750 for the seats.

Thanks for looking!

Just remembered these are for a NB and I do believe the brackets are different.

The brackets are sold already, but they would have bolted just fine to an NA. The seat belt buckle was already mounted to the bracket, so anything newer then 94 would have been fine. 93 and earlier you would have to remove the seatbelt bracket mounted to the tunnel.
