2.01 -> Hey, guys.
3.01 -> I'm Alex from americanmuscle.com, and today
I'm bringing you my quick review and breakdown
6.939 -> of the Procar Sportsman Pro Black Vinyl Reclining
Seat, fitting your 1979 through 2014 Mustang.
14.08 -> So in this video, I'm gonna talk about the
construction and materials that went into
16.91 -> this seat.
17.91 -> We're gonna talk about who this might appeal
to and why you might wanna get into a set
21.61 -> of aftermarket seats, what you should expect
to be spending, and then we're gonna take
25.13 -> a very quick glance at what's entailed to
get these installed.
28.67 -> We're gonna be looking at a light to a moderate
one out of three wrenches on the difficulty
32.189 -> meter and about one to two hours per side,
and I'll have a little more for you on that
36.239 -> later.
37.239 -> So the Procar Sportsman that I have here in
front of you today should definitely appeal
40.229 -> to a few different types of Mustang owners
out there.
43.129 -> And first and foremost, it's gonna be for
the owner that's running an older car that
47.269 -> doesn't necessarily wanna pull their seats
out, take them down to an upholstery or body
51.93 -> shop, and have them rewrapped, as it can definitely
be a little bit on the costly side.
56.36 -> So the next group of owners out there that
I think this would definitely appeal to would
59.469 -> be the guys that are looking to get out of
their factory-style seats and into something
64.089 -> that's not only gonna be a little bit more
race-inspired but it's gonna keep you safe
68.57 -> and secure when you're pushing your car through
the turns, be it on a road course, autocross,
72.92 -> or if you're just looking that's gonna give
you a little bit more support down low as
76.69 -> well as up top.
78.05 -> So additionally, for the previous reasons,
if you're in the process of building a dedicated
82.44 -> time attack, road course, or even a drag car,
these might appeal to you because they're
87.21 -> gonna weight considerably less than what you
might find coming out of your car from the
91.97 -> factory.
92.97 -> Now, we're gonna see that these are gonna
come in right around 25 to 30 pounds, and
95.78 -> I definitely mean that they weigh damn near
nothing, as you can pick them up with about
99.6 -> one hand here.
100.94 -> So last type of owner that I think this might
appeal to would be the shapelier Mustang owner,
105.73 -> kind of like myself, that's gonna be looking
for a little bit more comfort in the event
111.2 -> that you're gonna have trouble driving your
own car.
113.84 -> Now, having sat with this in a car as well
as on the floor and a couple of different
117.79 -> places around here, I can definitely attest
to this having more than adequate support
122.07 -> for your hips and your rear end and down around
your waistline.
126.18 -> So in terms of the construction and materials
here, guys, right out of the box, it's evident
129.909 -> this is definitely pretty well-built, despite
being a budget-minded seat.
134.099 -> The back of the seat's gonna have a gloss
black finish, what I think is pretty trick.
138.569 -> Additionally, here on the bolsters, on the
side, as well as up top, they're gonna have
142.26 -> a little bit of a carbon fiber weave.
144.44 -> The Procar logo itself, it's gonna have a
little bit of a felt look to it, and the stitching
148.849 -> and the vinyl is just pretty top-notch for
how much you're gonna be paying.
152.03 -> And I'll get a little bit more into that for
you later.
154.379 -> So the specific series that I have here today
is not only gonna be aggressive and give you
158.04 -> a much cooler look inside of your car as well
as being a little bit more comfortable for
162.239 -> a certain body type, but you're gonna see
that this is gonna have harness pass-throughs
166.409 -> here.
167.409 -> So just like I said previously, if you're
building a time-attack car, dedicated drag
171.599 -> car, you're gonna need that, and it's definitely
something that I'd pay attention to when you're
175.45 -> shopping for seats online.
176.749 -> So again, guys, if you're looking at picking
up the set of aftermarket seats for your Mustang,
181.59 -> you're probably doing it for one of the reasons
that I had mentioned previously.
185.709 -> In terms of the looks department, between
the '79 and the 2014, I think it's pretty
191.109 -> all right looking.
192.249 -> This, honestly, isn't my own cup of tea.
194.629 -> I'm more of an old-school guy.
196.45 -> I love the look of a simple RECARO, something
you might find out of a Saleen Fox body.
201.689 -> But let's face facts, money does not grow
on trees.
204.849 -> Seats can definitely be expensive.
206.23 -> I honestly think this is gonna be a great
option for someone that's looking for a budget-minded
211.139 -> and an entry-level racing seat, again, if
you're looking to build a time-attack car,
215.609 -> or a drag car, or if you're just looking to
give your interior some strong looks, as well
220.489 -> give you more support when you're running
your car through your turns.
223.39 -> All right, guys, so one thing I do wanna mention
before we get into the pricing here is that,
227.15 -> no matter the generation of your Mustang,
be it a Fox, an SN95, or a 197, you will need
233.019 -> to purchase the brackets to get these installed
separately.
236.62 -> And I would just make sure to pay close attention
to that on the product page.
239.499 -> All right, guys, so in terms of the pricing
here, you should expect to be spending about
242.739 -> 230 bucks per seat and give or take about
another $100 for brackets.
246.989 -> And for the money here, I think these are
a great entry-level, budget-minded seat that's
251.029 -> gonna give a ton of looks on the inside as
well as keep you pretty firmly planted.
255.53 -> And again, if you're gonna run that in comparison
with some of the other options we have on
258.57 -> site, you're gonna see they can easily range
from anywhere between $700 to $800 per seat
262.87 -> all the way up to a couple grand for a full
set.
265.61 -> So again, for the money here, you're gonna
be getting away with some pretty good looks
268.38 -> as well as having the ability to keep you
in the seat.
271.319 -> But I do wanna call out there that it's gonna
be dependent upon the look that you're after
275.6 -> as well as how much you wanna spend, and they're
gonna be pretty directly related to each other.
279.88 -> All right, guys, so switching gears to the
installation portion of the video, just like
283.74 -> I had said up top, you're gonna be looking
at a pretty light to a moderate one out of
288.16 -> three wrenches on the difficulty meter and
probably about one to two hours per side here.
292.91 -> Now, I do wanna mention that, for this specific
seat, we're gonna be installing this in an
298.01 -> S197, and it might differ from a Fox body
to an SN95.
302.06 -> But if you've never pulled your seats out
of your car before, you're really not looking
305.72 -> at brain surgery here, and a basic socket
set, a little bit of elbow grease, should
310.15 -> have your factory seats out in about one to
two hours per side.
314.68 -> Get these swapped back in, and you're good
to go.
316.81 -> All right, guys, so just to wrap things up
here, some final thoughts.
319.56 -> I definitely like this option from Procar,
based on a couple of different features here.
324.04 -> The looks are great.
325.08 -> This is definitely pretty well-built, and
it's definitely budget-minded.
327.82 -> Again, you're gonna be paying about $230 per
seat here.
331.42 -> Run that in comparison to about 700 or 800
bucks.
334.569 -> You're gonna be getting some very good looks,
great support down low as well as for your
339 -> waist or the gut region.
340.52 -> But again, for someone that's gonna be a little
bit more top-heavy, like myself, and have
344.741 -> a little bit more of a broad build, I might
look at some other options, as it's a little
349.24 -> bit tight up in here for me.
351.14 -> And I can see that being a little bit of a
nuisance on some longer drives.
354.75 -> But being said here, if you're just looking
to get some really great looks, building a
358.31 -> time attack, drag car, or a road course car,
this is gonna be a perfect budget-friendly
363.64 -> option for you.
364.64 -> All right, so that's my quick review and breakdown
of the Procar Sportsman Pro Black Vinyl Reclining
369.8 -> Seat for your 1979 through 2014 Mustang, available
right here at americanmuscle.com.
