Something that has popped into my head looking at the seat threads here on CF. While I love the idea of a new(er), more comfortable seat, I have noticed that so many of them are taller - head rests etc. With such a small back window in the '68 - '77 cars, doesn't that make it very hard to really see what's behind you?. I think we all know that the side mirrors in these leave much to be desired, so it would seem that the rear view mirror is pretty important.
Do any of you have feedback on this after you put in non-stock seats?
Thanks!

Don't get tempted by all the inexpensive (read cheap) racing seats for sale they look reallly cool but come apart in a year and don't flip forward at all so you can not get to the storage behind the seats. you dont specify your year. The seats in 80 - 82 are actually good seats with new foam and covers they are hard to beat. New foam and covers are $600 and a snap to install.
