your going to paint your seats? Terrible idea, i did that that to my old door panels and the insert on the door panel and the fabric paint would fade and rub out when touched. It would start fading to grey after about a week.

The ion Recaros are pretty sweet, but it might be easier to jsut find aftermarket recaro seats

Theres been a couple guys on other forums that did it, they came out fine. Only con is they fade and you need to redo them every once and a while.

It looks ok but I think I'll stick to getting katzkin covers. The deck behind the seats I might do to make the black/grey seats flow a little better. I think that plus black floor mats will make it look ok. I'd love to just get a black interior(-seats) but idk how much that would cost from a yard.

very much so hard to find them. I like the ion back seat as well. I've only ever had two people in my back seat at once, and be somewhat comfortable. My little brother had to sit in the middle of the seat when it was just him back that pissed me off since i hate that. The Ion rear seats would take care of that.

The Katzkins for mine were just shy of $1300 installed. Black w/yellow inserts and yellow SS emblems in the front headrests ($50 each). You just gonna go with single color? It's quality stuff though!

I'm installing myself. I'm 90% decided on Dark Graphite for the outside(matches the ss steering wheel best) and Dove Grey inserts(matches the grey plastic best). No emblems.
