While so many companies are replicating Bride, Sparco, Momo, etc. How come I have yet to see a company replicate this seat?

Cobra Misano

I would love to have seats like this, but not have to spend $1,600 a seat! I'm just sayin'.

Are you sure no one's done it yet? Isn't that a brand thats more popular in domestic cars? Maybe some Mustang guys might know... :gotme

Yeah, generic knock-offs usually tend to reside in the import/cheap car community. Cobra is a high end brand and usually caters to custom cars and domestics. The only import I've seen with a cobra seat is a 350z.

That being said, if you can't afford it, don't buy it. That's a very nice seat and it would still be expensive to replicate the complex shape and stitching.

Those are pretty sweet. When i typed in "misano replica seats" in google i found a link on a cobra forum to this site

They look pretty nice for knockoffs, but not even close to the original. Hope this helps.

I've seen that website before, and as you said, NOT EVEN CLOSE. Besides, I would love either a CF or Kevlar backing.
