Best all round dune buggy seats?

Has anyone tried Smart Fortwo seats in their buggy? I'm not a fabricator so I'm hoping for a relatively easy install.

Yep! They're nice and sit a bit deeper than this now due to a body lift...

Does anybody have any pics of how they mounted the miata seats with the miata sliders? Thanks

Here are a couple pics of my project. Just added Jamar disc brakes an adjustable beam so I can soften the springs. Also added some new rims and tires up front. Next are the seats, so I can relocate the steering into a better position and some rear rims and tires

I have been putting PRP Seats in all the buggies I have been building and have been very happy with them.

Having just done over 2000 miles in a set under both race and cruise conditions I am even happier with them.

One of the great things about the PRP Seats is that when you cost what it takes to get a set of other seats recovered and take into account the cost of the PRP Seats includes custom covers there are even a better deal.

I'd love PRP seats, but on my current build with the dollar and shipping costs I'd be at almost a grand to get them here.. No go.

These are the seats that i will be using on my manx dune buggy
They are from a 2001 Hyundai Tiburon

and the rear seats are from the same '01 Hyundai Tiburon but they were shortened to make fit.
