braums website says if you want a different color they will do it for a extra charge so if you want yellow on the sides im sure they will do it.

Yes, let us know if it matches the mod red color. These look really good.

The Braum Elite, Cipher CPA2009, and the Corbeau RRS are the same seats. Just different coverings. Here is a link to a member's install:

Well... drivers seat is in. The seats come with sliders! I have to say these seats are well made and are very comfortable! the red on the seats look close to the interior..but I wI'll check tomorrow in the daylight. And the seats seat bracket and slider dropped right in..no redrilling any holes.I did have to use the passenger seat on the drivers side because oseatbelts.but everthing is still functional. I'm going with a hardbar matched red and black 5way harness.

How much did the setup cost you and where did you get it?

These look much nicer than Corbeaus

I don't see the seatbelt buckle installed. Does it still fit/function? I know you said you were installing a harness. I'm asking because I'd like to use the factory seatbelts.

Please elaborate on why you had to use the passenger seat on the drivers side.

Thank you, Larry
