Are these the new Magnum ST8 seats?

Check out this picture. All of the press releases and descriptions of the 2006 Magnum SRT8 mentioned the red stitching on the new leather buckets. Are these the seats?

I just looked at a new Chrysler 300C SRT8 on Tuesday and the seats looked just like these but they didn't have the stitching and the SRT8 emblem was in the top of the back of the seat whereas the photo above has it in the headrest area.

The 300C's seats felt real nice on my a$$. I think I like the Magnum seats better. What do you think?

Here are the 300C SRT8 photos I took on Tuesday.

I wish our R/T's and C's had the hefty side bolstering from the SRT-8's. When I take a tight corner (which I hardly ever do

), I feel like I'm sliding out of my seat. I've gotten used to it, but my girlfriend still braces herself when in the passenger seat and screams, "Slow down!" Maybe if we had buckets that wrapped around us, she wouldn't put up such a stink. Hell, my Accord coupe had 5 times more "wraparound" effect than the Magnum. But I guess I'll live...

Five times? That's a lot of "wraparound"...

yeah, to buckle yourself in, all you had to do was get in the car and scream,"Gyuver!!!":lol:

on a related note, any of our guru's or inside guys know the part number for a complete srt power bucket? i dont like the exterior srt changes soo much, but those seats are definatly becoming top of the cypher for the next mod.

I have been waiting for an update for our catalog to include the SRT-8 seats. Im looking to price a set out for my Magnum, but as of today, there are no seats listed in our parts catalog. I will try to keep everyone updated on when the parts are avaliable, and also the part numbers. I bet they will be very expensive seats to buy though.

how much does an r/t leather power up seta cost? so i can get an idea of the increase.

I sat in the SRT-8 Mag seats and they were very satisfying.

i bleieve those are the exact seats you will find in the Magnum SRT-8... with the alcantara inserts...

altough one car mag complained about not enough lateral support from the seat... hard to beleive though...

I sat in the 300C SRT8 seats. I'm 6'6" - 260+ and they felt great to me.
