Default anyone seen these seats in person

I cant warm up to modern racing seats for my 69 just too import tuner looking for my old school theme for my taste,

I found a rather cheap seat on ebay from an outfit called ikon motorsports

At the price I'm not expecting much but i wonder if they are in par with the old poly racing seats, if so im good with that,

So anyone seen these in person?


They have an old vintage look to me i desire,

Thanks,
Bats

Looks like they call them Jeep replacement seats.

I like them, and reasonably priced.

They're a little more money, but both OMP and Corbeau make some very nice vintage racing seats. Both companies make racing seats, so you know they're well designed, and safe to use.

You can often find these seats at places like Summit or other race car parts suppliers, for less than list.

Oddly, their website says for jeep but they have the vented and this solid style on ebay as generic classic racing seats,

I have seen the similar seats with higher prices hence why i asked about these cheapies,
I will not be racing my car so no need to pay extra for racer stuff,

Im just curious if the ikon seats are in par with this type seat also cheap, but wrong style,
