You know I really like them. I was skeptical after the issues I had with installation, but at the end of the day it actually worked out. I will say a couple of things though:
1. As with all aftermarket seats, they sit pretty high. The universal subframe design used by the manufacturer results in a pretty high seat. Not so high that I feel like I'm in the roof, but I definitely feel like I'm perched up there. I do have a much better view out the windows though.
2. The seats feel like they may be designed for a bigger guy than me. The seat bottom is fairly wide and could handle a much bigger ass than mine. Also, it seems like the cushion is designed for a slightly longer leg. I'm only 5' 11" so I'd say a 6' guy with a few more pounds than me would probably fit better.
3. Silly, but the built-in cupholders need to be deeper. I would not trust them with a drink going around a corner at all.
4. I definitely lost a lot of legroom in the back. I'm not sure how or why, but there is definitely a lot less space compared to the bench seat. If you look in the pics, I used to be able to fit that sub behind the passenger side of the bench on the floor. No way could I do that now without pushing the passenger seat way forward.
So long story short, would I do this again? I think so. I did have issues, but the company ultimately took care of me. Are these seats perfect? No. But I think I can make some the issues above a little better once the warranty is up and I'm free to modify things a bit.
Now all I need is a friggen headliner!
