Did you see that shipping is 150 dollars?? Read through there feedback seems to be common with them just a high flat rate for shipping even if it didnt cost that much.

These seats look really similar to the APC seats.

Ahh...I didn't see that. I saw those APC seats in there. They don't look half bad.
Go to eBay and do a search on 'camaro seats'. There's all kinds of stuff in there.1968 Pro-Touring Camaro LS1

I bought my front seats and rear seats all 4th gen and I KNOW the shipping wasn't that much. I just cant remember how much it was. But $155.00 seems quite high. I could be wrong.
Came in 2 big cardboard boxes just loaded with styraphome peanuts.

$10 for insurance? Insurance with UPS is included for up to $100 per a box.. So this is just another profit center.. lol..
Thier cost on shipping would depend how they are packaged (one box or two).. well less than $100 I would say."A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."

Hmmm..... According to my math, which is never the most reliable, I think that comes out to around $250 for a pair of decent looking seats. Not too bad to me.

Just buy them, and give them your own FedEx account #, and tell them to ship them through your account. Problem solved.

Even after paying 150 or whatever for shipping you are still getting a pair of brand new seats for under 250, not too bad. Somebody buy a pair so we can get an idea of what type of quality seats they are.

You have to understand that some of these guys aren't just looking to scam you by charging you for shipping when you didn't see it, they are actually trying to save money by listing a lower price and advoiding ebay seller fees. Not very honest either way though.

I have those seats in my Beretta. They're not bad. But don't make the mistake of thinking they're great either. The only reason I bought them is because there are no stock Beretta seats with side support. Here's a couple pics:
No matter what, they're better than the stock maroon interior in the car.

Clint, I paid $65 for my Grant Formula 1 Signature Series steering wheel on eBay. It was new in the box. Looks great, solid construction and feel. End of story. Go to the site below, it's under 'Signature Series' and 'Formula 1' as part #1066. For some reason I can't hotlink to it.

I've just never been a fan of Grant wheels,for some reason. My car now has a Grant Challenger GT wheel that looks ok but I really want a Momo Trek. Here's a link to see my Grant wheel.

I run a Grant as well, part #748 under the GT Rally wheels. I think I paid about $65 on Ebay.

Just speaking for myself,I never put a price limit on creativity. If I want it and can afford it,I'll buy it.
