JUST FYI - All posts in this thread containing unsubstantiated nonsense will disappear. This guy was nice enough to put together a great group purchase for us, and I won't have people whoring up this thread. Thanks - Paul

[size=10pt]UPDATE 3/9/2009[/size]
Hokay, 1STOF3 pmed me and it looks like hunsaker has updated their website w/ the new 09 models of the seats. I still noticed it said limited quantity so I have no idea what sort of stock they keep.   As some of you may remember I tried to put a group purchase together w/ hunsaker a few months ago. They were willing to work with us at the time and basically offered a considerable 10% of total purchase price.  Unfortunately the seats that most wanted at the time (black vinyl synkro) were out of stock.  We agreed that it was better to just put this buy off until everything was IN STOCK and give it another go. At any rate..... last go round, I set a goal of 10 people.  For some reason 10 turned out being quite a tough number to reach.  Obviously there is power in numbers and more people interested = better discount.  From past experience 5 seems to be a reasonable number.  I would not limit the buy to 5 (if there are more..... so be it) but basically to get any sort of mentionable discount I'd imagine it begins at 5 and goes from there. If there is at least 5 people interested I can contact hunsaker and see if they'd be willing to work something out in form of a discount.  I was the one who started the buy so I'll take responsibility for what I started and do my best to make this one work even though I'm no longer taking part in it. I went to the dark side and bought corbeau as I couldn't wait.

That being said. Look over their website www.hunsakersports.com. IF you see something you'd be interested in purchasing post up along w/ a qty, brackets, harnesses, color, etc..If I get an idea of those w/ serious interest I can contact hunsaker and see what kind of deal they'd be willing to work. Like I said they offered 10% off total purchase price a few months ago. However I cannot promise they will be as generous again but It's worth a try.

[size=10pt]UPDATE 1/6/2009[/size]
OK just got of the phone w/ Justin at hunsaker.

They only have the synkro in the grey/black (two tone) in stock. Once they are gone they are gone so it's a limited deal and you won't be able to get that color combo later on.

They do have the Icon seats in stock in either All Grey or All Tan (no black)

The black synkro are out of stock till march. He said they might be coming out w/ a new model

Hunsaker will offer a discount as long as all the items are on the same ticket. Meaning the entire order placed the same day.  If you guys have any other questions concerning what is in stock please email hunsaker and they should be able to help you out w/ availability. I know almost all of us wanted a synkro in all black so availability of the seats kinda throws us for a loop.

We have 2 options the way I see it.

1.  Wait till March, when they have the seats in stock and try the group buy again (since almost all of us wanted the black synkro seats that are currently out of stock)

2. As I mentioned above they have some seats in stock (limited colors). If a few of you guys (maybe 3) are interested in those they MIGHT be able to work w/ you on the price (I know personally I want an all black seat). Granted it might not be a %20 discount but you still may be able to save some money.





CLIFF NOTES: The black synkro seats that almost all of us wanted are out of stock till march.  They might be coming out w/ a new model as well.  Hunsaker is stilling willing to work w/ us on a group purchase but we obviouly won't have the seats as soon as we though.

I almost did the same but came across these. A few guys on corral use them as well and had good things to say.

I got them from a local bussiness, Tranzit Motorsports. He sold them to me for $800 including the brackets.

Sorry, my bad brain is not working very good today!  I plan to buy those exact seats on 12/24/08!!  I had it done for $480.  If I can save, that's cool.  I already have my budget done out though.  So if not, no biggie!  I'll re-read this later today though!  Hopefully I will get something out of it then.  See ya!!

Still does not make much sense to me.  I never even saw that 2nd link though!  I will buy the vinyl ones though. 

Understand it as good as I ever will.  I just don't see how that will work in going to different places!  I'm in north Texas.  I can understand if you were in Oklahoma, maybe.  Yeah, add my name to the list!  I won't have any $ 'til 12/24 though.

Jason was aware that each order will be shipped to a different location. So no prob there, the price is shipped to YOUR door. Depending on how soon we get 3 others we can place an order and save some cash. They do have other seats avail as well (I didn't post of pics of them) but the discount still applies to those as well! That's what the second link was to.

I do have a pic of what they call 2 tone:

What I will be doing is buying them in all black.  I will have the upholstery shop I use add in the middle inserts in  my saddle color.  In my head, I have them looking kinda like this:
Arizen though!!

Maybe not as far on the bottom as these though.

i am very interested in the saddle with black seats,

1. How soon do you need the money?
2. Do these seats come with the proper tracks for our cars or its going to be 400 plus the tracks?
3. How dead on is the saddle going to match?

Here's what Justin Pommer of them typed to me. I sent him quite a few, I'm bunching his replies as 1 though.

Hi, we have 2 great 2 tone seats. We have a tan/black and a grey/black. Both are synkro seats. Check out the pics. Let us know. Thanks

Hi Eli, pretty much anything can be done. We CAN customize anything you would like. Your belts should work as well. We do offer a full line of belts as well. Thanks

Hi, all our seats come with the sliders. Our brackets are universal. Thanks


I talked to my upholstery shop about getting these. He said he would reuse my tracks off my seats I will replace. He told me to just order the seats. Like I said, my 2 tone in my head looks different from Hun's 2 tone. I will be having mine done by my upholstery shop. Hope this helps some!

Here is his e-mail @ Hunsaker: [email protected]. If anyone has ?'s, ask him. See ya!!

1. I'm thinking sometime around Jan 10th. 
2. I've been told you can make the stock brackets work w/ an adapter plate,  here's what one guy did w/ his mustang using the supplied sliders and angle iron.

3. Judging by the pics eli posted looks pretty close.

They just look like a lighter shade, to me. I will be adding my own inserts though. I will not get an exact color match, just have to get as close as I can. I'm taking my old conv top in to match it with!
