The ION Recaros were a direct fit in my LS, only had to switch over the pass side ABS hardware.

just take off both sets of rails then bolt on the recaros. Sounds easy

No need to change the rails, just the pass side ABS bladder/controller. The seat rails on the Recaros are bolstered, which makes them more comfortable.

My stock leather seats are getting worn out, i do alot of driving though so I think I might try to pick up a set of the recaros, if I can find them. I have the Blue Gray Metallic color car with the silver trim inside, so the blue recaros would actually look good I think...

The Recaro's were my Fav mod so far. But due to the Side curtin Airbag's I have, and these seats not having that sensor, I can't use mine anymore.

well, Your in a similar situation to me. I have an 07, with side curtin air bags. So I'd need to swap the Pressure plate over to the Recaro's + the Air bag sensor (the air bag sensor is simple) Sum 1 already did this swap , i think his name was snobrdrn. He gave me a how to on how to do the swap, but I can't say I feel like doin it. These were my fav mod along with the Hurst and I don't wanna sell mine, but unless sum 1 could help me do that swap, I think I'll leave my stock ones in now.
