Good but very expensive
They were very easy to install and fit very well on the trailmax seats but it does lift your seat about 2-3 inches which is abit annoying for a taller person. They are also very expensive for how little metal it is but they don’t leave you with any better options for the trailmax seats

Review shared from Bestop Trailmax II Sport Center Fabric Front Seat; Black Denim (76-06 Jeep CJ7, Wrangler YJ & TJ)
2004 Rubicon - Brass160
Things I Didn't Know
Seat is great, however there was no mention in the description that I'd need to buy an adapter as well. Extra cost and extra time as I wait for the bracket to get here. So I knocked points off for fit and bang for buck as my $300 seat became a $550 seat.

2002 Wrangler - Mealone44
Great replacement, but it has some preqs...
Installing these seats was fairly easy and straight forward. You will have to buy the adapters brackets, and they are a little tricky to attach and tighten to the factory brackets, but they are doable with a close tolerance rachet-box end wrench. One other thing concerning the adapter bracket, your seat will be about and inch to inch and a half taller, I'm taller so that worked out great for me, but might be something to keep in mind if you're of the shorter persuasion. they are also a tab bit wider than stock as well. Not so much it interferes with fitment in the car, but it does make the seat a little more comfortable IMO. The only knock I have for these is the passenger seat doesn't have previsions to accommodate the slide forward function to easy access to the back seat. You will have craft a handle to keep that function. Overall for the price point I am happy with them and would by them again.

Does not fit TJ without adapter
Said “ Utilizes Stock Mounting Points” Unfortunately, not for TJ. Need to buy an adapter for each seat. $300 more. Good looking seats though

1997 Wrangler - ChristianMers
Great Product!
Pretty darn easy to install, fits Great! When making the holes in your carpet I recommend using a soldering iron instead of a knife or box cutter. This makes the perfect holes and you can make them appear cleaner and more professional. Obviously you won’t be taking the trunk out very often but if you were to it would make it appear cleaner. This also helps to get your Tools or Rivet gun in there without having carpet fur in the way.

2001 Wrangler - ETS
New Rear Seat for TJ
Needed a new seat for the TJ....this was really nice, overall. Easy to install and set up - only issue is that is it leans back at a fairly steep angle, and is very difficult to use with my 'add a trunk'. Otherwise high quality item.

Time to set up and be noticed
Love the seat,fabric looks great, it's wider seat and Love the lower back rest which gives a much better view from the rear view mirror. For the TJ required additional sliders to mount to riser.
