I'm looking at getting new seats. The 4 companies seats I've narrowed it down to are:
1- Mastercraft 3G seats
Click to view attachment2- Beard RX-3T Seat
Click to view attachment3- Twisted Stitch TS-1 Seat
Click to view attachment4- Jettrim XHC
Click to view attachmentI want to see what your opinions on their quality, costumer service, comfort. I know Jettrim and Twisted Stitch aren't as popular as the Beard and Mastercraft are.
Thanks in advance

That Jet trim Seat looks really nice and finished. Make sure you sit in them before ordering......

I have a set of Race Craft seats with the High sides and what a pain to tighten the seat belts! If I would have known about the jet trim I, looking at the big hole for the belts and upper bar for support I think I would have chosen those.

We shopped around, looked around, asked around and "sat" around... Just ordered our Jettrim seats yesterday. Kelly is super great to work with. Customer service so far is awesome. Make sure and sit in the new XHC style before buying. They are great seats, but the sides are little too high for me...really holds your shoulders in tight. Great for racing I'm sure, but playing in the dunes, I wanted a little more give. We bought the high back adjustable headrest style. These are the colors, but the headrest will be adjustable.

BTW - if you live in AZ, you can go to Tatum and sit in the Jettrim seats. They have a few on the floor on display, including the XHC. All their cars have Jettrim as well. They were great in letting me sit in the different cars to check out the seats....I'm sure they were hoping to sell a car too

Dont forget the PRP Drifter seats. They come standard 24" wide. I had my fronts made 4" extra tall also.

Thanks. I didn't think about tatum. I will go by there today and check both of them out. Did they say how long it will take for you to get them?

Click to view attachmentI havent seen those seats before. They aren't on their website. I'm not too excited about the PRP seats. I ordered a set last season with the pocket and when prp had sewn the pocket the stitching was so close together it basically cut or ripped a hole in the seat that it was being sewn to.

I know they went thru some ownership changes, that could have been part of the problem. I had issues with my seats as well. When I asked about it, they redid them to my satisfaction, no questions asked.

I have the older JetTrims and still love them. They are amazingly comfortable and everyone else that has sat in them, prefered them over whatever brand seats they had in their cars. With that said, if I were shopping now, I'd obviously start with JetTrim, but would also consider the 3G. I'd probably go with the JetTrim though...

Thats part of the problem, I'm going to pickup a new car this weekend and it already had the extra wide seats in them. I need standard seats. I didn't like the quality of the PRP seats I had last time. And now when I get this car I have 4 basically brand new seats I will need to get rid of. But thanks for the offer.

I REALLY wanted to get the Jettrim seats. I think they are the best looking and the lady I talked to was incredibly nice and helpful. I went and sat in them at Tatum. BUT I ended up going with the Beard RX-3T. Through a friend of the rail builders they were able to get me an incredible deal. Saved me about $1,000 over the Jettrims. They should be done the end of this week.

I've sat in a couple of Jettrims (not the ones posted) and they didnt strike me as anything special. I do love those Beards though (I know others make a similar style and probably feel the same as I'm not a Beard fan), extremely comfortable and that little hump is easy on the "junk."
