Default Apsis' UltraDeluxe Seat (Reuse Side Airbag)...finally finished...new pictures

Hi All,

Finally we finish our UltraDeluxe Seat that will reuse the Side Airbag. We takes some new pictures and can't wait to share with members.

The next step is we will install to our Vert to take some installed pictures. Stay tuned.

The spec of this seat is-----

Inside Panel: Carbon Leather
Outside Bolster: Ebony Nappa
Inside Bolster: SuperDeluxe Alcantara
w/VY Stitching

w/Carbon Seat Handle, Seat Switch Bezel & Switch *****.

Price: $5288/pair in all nappa leather.

If with SuperDeluxe Alcantara or Carbon Leather, there is extra charge due to high material cost.


Here are the pictures-------

Gorgeous work Jersey. Question: I don't suppose you donated one of these seats to the Testing Gods, and popped one of the airbags through the bolster to make sure it deployed?

Shipping is not bad. You can send by ground shipping.

The lead time is about 6 weeks. If you really can't wait that long, we can expedite it about 4 weeks. But we don't want to over promise and later cannot deliver. It always has something unexpected may happen in production.

I understand the seat is too expensive for donation. My point was: have you tested the bag deployment, in any way? Or did you use similar threading and materials that GM used in the hopes that the bag will deploy?

Thanks.

The cheap option
if i ship them from here by sea
it will arrive 45 days later in the states if im lucky and the ship sets sale the same day i ship
then it would take 42 days to make and shipping back is an another 45 days
so thats 132 days = too long
The expensive option
if i ship by air thats $1500 for the pair one way
thats $3000 round trip so total $8288 = im not that rich

I am sure this seat is very comfortable & certainly functional, however, it's the most ridiculous looking seat I've ever seen in a car. It looks like it belongs in a semi truck, not a corvette. Is there an air ride option??? lol

Everyone's entitled to an opinion I guess. I've had the opportunity to sit in these seats at Carlisle and they are extremely comfortable and most importantly very supportive. You wouldn't have to worry about bracing yourself against the door panel at 1g. I think they look fine. A little nod to Pratt and Miller seats, but nothing bad about that.

I have to agree with you. They looked like overstuffed. But may be very comfy.

If you don't want to look as bulky as it is now, no problem. We custom make the seat and we can make any way you want. No big deal.
