After looking at too many seats, I took a chance on these. More than I wanted to spend, but at some point I just gave up looking. I'm happy with them so far.

The only thing I doesn't like is that they've got their logo stitched into the headrest area in white thread - something that's not in the photos online. My wife offered to thread-rip it out, but I'm not sure yet.
What caught my eye was the 'wider' design. I'm a bigger guy at 6' 1", so any extra room is always welcome. My old Jeep had Mastercraft Baja buckets in it, and I almost went that way, but they're more than double the cost. (buying two of everything adds up).

I am late to the party, but...
even if I am a CRT fan (all my cabs still have their factory CRT or a good replacement for it), I must admit that (emulated) racing games of the 3D era run great on LCDs.
Ok, I said it :D

Quick update. Nothing fancy.
Got the floor boards in, which took longer than it should have. Added a cross brace to the base around the center mark inside the base. Got the monitor mounts cut out and ready to install (not in the pic).
Currently working on getting the seat in the right place. Now that I've got the floor in, I can put the pedals down and start test fitting based on the wheel / seat / pedal placement. The shaft on the Fanatec DD is longer than the shaft on the CSW v2.5, so the wheel will stick out a little further based on the mounting hole placement (assuming I make them identical).
I have a rough idea on where to put the shifter and hand brake, but I'm not 100% on that yet. Possibly near the shifter location on the original Daytona cabinet. The Fanatec shifter unit is about the same size as the original Daytona shifter surprisingly. I'll have to grab a pic of them side by side for next time.
