From a looks/comfort standpoint, I think you are fine. From a safety standpoint the pics in the link leave a few questions.

1) Is there a hole in the seat cushion for a the sub belt? Without the sub belt a 5-pt harness is dangerous and might not meet NHRA safety specs.

2) Is the slider shown in the pic a dual locking one? Its not clear and its not called out (that I saw anyway), and again the NHRA wants dual locking sliders.

I'd find answers to those questions first and see if they impact how you intend to use the car in the future.
