Good source for a seat?

I'd still have to buy rails for it as I want the seat adjustable. I just thought it might be good because those seats are SO cheap that I wouldn't feel guilty hollowing out the bottom to put the rumblers inside the seat as opposed to under it.

I looked at the gamer / rocker chairs (with the bass driver in them) and I just couldn't figure out how to mount one on my cab. I've read that putting the rumblers / shakers on cloth actually reduces the feedback as opposed to mounting it on a plate that the seat is bolted too. The springs in the seat let it move too much, reducing the output.
Now, I don't really know what the output of one of those things is until I get mine (this week I think?) so I'll let you know then.

Well find me a car with a wood trim interior that doesn't have a tannish color scheme. I'm not fond of it by itself, but with the appropriate interior....
Fursphere:
My '98 Accord EX had a grey / dark grey leather interior with a dark (fake) wood trim. Like a marbled walnut type color. I thought it looked pretty good.

I'll look into it, but I'm skeptical on this one. I'm going to leave the wood almost unfinished. Not quite a blonde color, but pretty close.
I thought I would mention these:

Even though I'm not a large guy by any means I look at that and think "my fast ass won't fit in that" but they are cheap and because they are meant to go in a real race car, they are a standard size, so you can mount them to a set of rails or hard mount them to a rig. There are padded covers available for them as well, but they aren't very high end.... this type of seat is typically used for a dune buggy.
Fursphere:
Those are HARD - they're good in drag racing cars because you're only in them for a 1/4" mile at a time. :) Although I'm not sure if they're better or worse than a regular plastic arcade seat. (which again most arcade games are only used for a few minutes at time.... they games are designed that way)
