An Aluminum seat with a cover has limited protection in a crash.
Although they are more expensive, I recommend the use of an FIA approved seat like they are provided with the COPO, Cobra Jet and Drag Pak cars or, a poured seat.
I learned a lot about crashworthiness of seats while doing aircraft passenger seat certification during my time at Boeing and it was eye opening.
Unless you buy a high end sports car that has Recaro seats or similar, the OEM seats are limited as regards to protection.
It is a matter of much your health is worth.

Shameless plug. If you visit my website I make and sell brackets to bolt Kirkeys to replace factory seats. I'm always adding to it, so if you see something missing and are interested, feel free to ask.

Troy's brackets make installation of racing seats into a Stocker a piece of cake.

Kyle, Pew Racing only has midgets. Midget car racing. Were you referring to pews as in churches. Or are you leading me on a wild pew chase.
