That's one helluva profit margin

I would guess it is a fair markup, but hey, you charge what the market will pay I guess. I love free enterprise myself.

I don't know about that...
Granted it's only like $15 in material
then you add the $25 in labor
plus $15-$30 a piece in powder-coating (rate depends on quantity)
So we're talking $55-$70. I know I wouldn't sell something like that for less. Without the volume of sales that big name products sell at you really need to have 50-100% markup to make it worth it IMO.

A few DIY full racing seat units have been made. Maybe you could adapt the wheel support only but I think it needs the low seat for the proper feel. The couch seems a bit high more like a family sedan.
This one has been linked before.
