So I'm close to ordering a set of PRP daily drivers, has anyone else bought them recently that can comment on quality, comfort, looks, etc.? I know @Jerry Bransford likes his and a couple people have bought the adjustable seats recently but I don't think I need the adjustment.

I'm a bit torn on material selection but I'm thinking tweed for the center and sides with black vinyl on the back. No piping or logo with black thread. I'm a bit concerned about keeping the tweed clean but I don't want swamp ass vinyl on the part you sit on. I was thinking either suede or cordura on the sides. I'm also not sure which black vinyl to go with. One looks darker in the photos. Any input from those of you with them? (I've requested material samples but I want to get in before the free shipping and 10% discount is over at the end of the month)

I say wait on the samples When did you order the samples?

I am confident you will have the samples before the end of the month.

It would drive me insane ordering a set of seats with custom materials and not having seen the textures/samples in person first.
 
I ordered PRP enduro elite seats directly from them. Without seeing samples but I was familiar with the materials I used to design them.

I requested them today. I emailed asking about using custom fabric last week (IE: me ordering elsewhere) for the center but I don't think I'm going that way. They replied quickly last week but I haven't heard back about the samples yet. I asked for a bunch.

How do you like the cordura? does it breath well?

How are the seats overall, you happy with them?
I am really happy with the cordura. It’s tough, doesn’t hold moisture cleans up easy and looks great. I glad I went this way. It doesn’t breath quite as well as the tweed I had on another set of seats I had but I like these a lot more overall.
 
Cordura is the way to go. I got Suede on the center and I like the looks but it gets a little sweaty.

I just wish they had better lumbar support. I would not recommend the lumbar bladder they sell. It is extremely tiny.

In my other vehicle with adjustable lumbar support, I personally find it most comfortable with it all the way out.
 
I opted for the enduro elites because I’ve had five back surgeries and now have a Implanted spinal nerve stimulator. I needed to be able to recline or change my seating position. I also opted for the lumbar support bladder and heat on my driver side seat. I’m happy with the lumbar bladder. While it isn’t large it does work well for me. These seats have made a world of difference for me and the comfort of my Jeep.
 
I was suppose to be doing a California road trip last month and had PRP on my place to visit so I could try out their seats. I've decided to purchase without trying based on all the reviews. Just wiating on my samples to come through which were sent about a week ago. I'm torn between the Enduro Recliner of the Enduro Elite recliner. The Elite's look like they may hug the thighs a bit which would be annoying. I'm also deciding if i spring for the Itlia stitching which looks amazing!

This is the colour scheme i am after.

I’ve been eyeing the PRP seats for awhile now and would buy a pair if I was able to use the tumble forward feature to get into the back seat.
Does anyone still use the tumble feature on their PRP seats?
 
Yeah I originally had both mounted on the flip and fold mounts. I have made a custom mount for the drives side since then. It raised the seating position about an inch but being 6’5” tall I don’t have the room to move up that much as it put me too close for comfort to the roll bar. I color matched the roll bar to the seats. I have not gotten to the repaint of the body just yet.

Yes. You use seat adapters. To mount them and I just made a loop in the cable left under the seat then just pull on that to release it.
