Evan, i hear you on the seats. one consideration might be to instead use one of the JDM STi v5 through v8 non-airbag seats. They're fairly form-fitting and are more of a padded shell than an upholstered piece of furniture. they should bolt right in to the USDM seat bolts.

i'm not sure where they're priced these days seeing as how most of these seats are old now and not as common.

obviously i'm hugely biased but i was totally underwhelmed by the 1st and 2nd place design which looked bland to me. i felt of the 3 that were picked, Xabier (3rd place) had the most attractive and cohesive design and thankfully it looks like they're basing the final car primarily off of that.

if you build it, i'll be jealous as hell. its about time a kit like this was offered.
