So it's about time to update my seats. I have a few brands in mind all of which vary in price from affordable to top of the line i.e. expensive. So my question is this. I am looking for reclinable seats with a true Carbon Fiber back. Cobra Misano Lux seats come to mind, but these are obviously in the top of the line category. Any other ideas?

You could get pro car seats on AM
You know I was looking at those as well. I thought they looked pretty good for the price, I just don't know a whole lot about them from a quality stand point. Does anybody have any experience with Procar's seats?
I know you gotta pay to play but if I can get the looks without the big hit to the wallet then why not. I would probably end up having these re-upholstered anyways if I did get them. More concerned with the quality of the Carbon Fiber i.e. if it is the real deal.
Unless you honestly plan on tracking your car I'd get new foam and covers from TMI. Race oriented seats like that aren't always comfortable for long drives.
Would TMI make custom covers for the Procar seats?
Also this is going to be a show car (someday) so I wouldn't be taking it out for really long drives other than cruising around town on the weekends.
So assuming I go with the Procar Evolutions, I would want to get legitimate Leather/Alcantara. So with that said would it be cheaper to just go with a seat that already comes with that fabric or cheaper to have the Procars re-upholstered?
I've sat in many different procar seats and was never a fan of them. I just didn't like the way they felt. I opted to put Corbeau GTS 2's in mine in leather and suede. After 3 seasons they still looks almost brand new! The quality of corbeau seats is great, I would highly recommend any of their seats to anyone!
I've heard good things about them too. Any pictures?
They look good
What kind of fabric is that? Suede?
Yes, its leather and suede inserts. Back when I bought them 3 years ago I spent the same amount on these as what cobra seats were (and probably still are) going for. They are much nicer quality, and the bolstering is awesome. They're incredibly comfortable.
They look comfortable. I wish I could go somewhere in the DFW area to just sit in some of these different seats so I could get a feel for them. Anybody know anywhere in this area that would have seats in store to look at and sit in?

Picture is older from a crappy iphone. Don't have any recent ones.
They look a lot like the 2006 mustang seats they're cool and all and I'm sure they are comfy but how are they at keeping you in place the bolsters look huge
They aren't anything at all like that era of mustang seats.. They hold you in place great, that's why they have big bolsters. You get what you pay for in a set of seats. If you spend 4-500 bucks on a set, they are going to be that kind of quality. Just because they look good in a picture online doesn't mean they are any good after 6 months.
That's true
Yea my buddy got a set of sve s2 seats and they looked great when they came in but after only 9 months the fabric came loose and the "leather" started to crack and peel off
