Message Hey everyone... John Y(Houston) and I have been working extremely hard to get you guys the best prices possible... So here they are... All prices are PER seat.

£560.00 - Milano in Leather
£400.00 - Milano
£247.00 - Torino
£193.00 - Evo2
£190.00 - Pro2000
£182.40 - Evo
£167.60 - Rev
£120.00 - Speed
£ 94.00 - Sprint

£ 20.00 - Sidemounts
£ 20.00 - Sliders

Yes, those prices are in GBP (Great Britan Pounds Sterling) because the vendor is in the UK... So at CURRENT exchange rate... and I'll say that again, at CURRENT exchange rate, which is 1.4242 those prices equal out to...

$797.55 - Milano - Leather
$569.68 - Milano
$351.78 - Torino
$274.87 - Evo2
$270.60 - Pro2000
$259.77 - Evo
$238.70 - Rev
$170.90 - Speed
$133.87 - Sprint

$ 28.48 - Sidemounts
$ 28.48 - Sliders

Now... due to exchange rates, those prices MAY Fluctuate. We can't guarantee the prices in $US.

Unfortunately, since we had to go to the UK to get these great prices, shipping costs have of course gone up... Its the worst on the touring seats. Here are the shipping quotes:

£80.00 - Shipping for a Pair of Competition
£85.00 to £90.00 - Shipping per Single Touring Seat

Which calculates to:

$113.94 - Shipping for a Pair of Competition
$121.06 to $128.18 - Shipping per Single Touring Seat

So in otherwords, a pair or Milanos or Torinos could be up to $256.36. =( But, even with the shipping costs, the overall prices on a pair of seats has dropped by over $100 on most of the seats since the last time we quoted prices. Torino's w/ sliders were looking to be $1086 shipped, and we've got that down to $1016 and change... A $70 price cut... Evo2's were looking to be $1050 shipped and we've got that down to a crazy $720 and change!! That's over a $300 price cut!!

The only seat the shipping increase became an issues on was the Milanos. We were quoted $590.00 a seat from a stateside vendor with an estimate of $45.00 shipping a seat. So a single Milano from them would only be $635, and a pair would be $1270 shipped... From our UK vendor it would be $1,395.72 for a set at current exchange rate, which obviously is not a better deal. We're still trying to work things out with the stateside vendor for those who want the Milano seats.

We did however get a quote on the LEATHER Milano's. They normally retail for $1199.00 a piece, or roughly $2398 for just two seats without shipping or anything, but through the GB you can get them for only $1,908.42 w/ sliders shipped if those are what you're interestd in. That's a savings of over $500!! (Even more is you try and add the sliders and shipping!).

Only issue now is that the UK vendor can't get the adapters for the sliders used on the Touring/Street seats to make the seats bolt directly into our cars... They don't normally deal with 300ZX owners, so they've never stocked the part. We're trying to talk with our stateside contact about getting a GB price on those for you guys. Last we were quoted, they were $40 a piece ($80 total). But we'll post an update when we find out for sure.

Finally, here are some pictures so everyone can check out the seats...
