Don't confuse a nice high performance street car seat with a proper racing seat. A proper racing seat will not recline, and will have a rigid back, and should not be used in a car without some sort of rollover structure.
A good example of a proper race seat is a Sparco Circuit Pro:
Ok, back to my seats; I'm really torn on what to do with my interior to make these fit in. I can recover the back seat and the door inserts w/ the same leather, but that just isn't quite enough. And I'm not keen on ripping out every single piece of interior trim and repainting it for a color scheme that may or may not look good w/ the Tropic Green exterior . . . Or, my other option is to trade these for the same seats in black . . . I dunno.

They really look good. The interior is not that big of a deal to redo, so I'd say redo it. If you're spending the money on those nice sparcos, surely you can spare some change on the rest of the interior. Most of it is plastic anyways and you can do it yourself.

Its not the money to redo the interior, its the time and effort that I don't want to get into, especially the dash. And, fwiw, I didn't pay retail on the seats, I got quite a discount because of a sort of a sponsorship deal from a friend's company www.racer91m.com so its not like I'm made of money. Plus, I've got plenty of money going into other areas of the car these days, lol. btw, if anyone wants to order anything from there, let me know, as I can get you a 10% off code.

Does the color of the seats complement the Prairie Tan, or does it clash with it? If it complements it, then I'd recover the door inserts and the back seat to match. Maybe get matching floor mats too. Leave the plastics stock tan and have a nice two-tone interior. If it clashes, well, I dunno.

Surely you don't own a svtc as your only car. Drink some beers and pull the dash out. I know it's a lot of work, but the rewards are worth it, right? ...
Obviously it's up to you to decide, but I'd love to see those seats with a matching interior in a contour. You're not the only one having interior dilemmas; although mine are easier to take care of, it won't look near as good as your's.

I have to agree w/ kremit here. throw those seates in, and every weekend for a while just decide to do one part of the interior. it wont match for a while, but you'll be sitting on cloud 9 (almost literally) and probably wont mind that much. before you know it, everything will be matching and oh-so-sweet
