x2. Do you have autocross plans or something in the near future, or do you just wanna "look fast" with some overkill elaborate seats?

i just want new seats in general, to go with a color scheme with slate metallic, black, and blue

i guess i could just get my seats re-covered with black and have the place do blue inserts

they have blue stitching too, so i think it will look good and fit the color scheme without being TOO much

so considering the black with blue stitched seats, do you think a blue dash trim would be overkill?

if so i would just paint it slate metallic and do blue leds to go with the stitching, still keeping some blue but not too much so its overkill

ion recaros???

they are blue

the recaro seats dont liiok like they hold you much over the stock seats.. but when you sit in them you may just want to bring a maxi pad to wipe your genetalia up with!

Out of your 3 choices...the 2nd one is the best in my opinion...I just installed my seats today...Took me all day haha but I retained the stock seat brackets and even the height adjustability on the drivers seat

Yeah the second one almost looks like it could be a stock performance seat which is why I like it but also has niCe thick bolsters to keep you in

sorry man but honestly unless you do some sort of racing they're pretty much useless.or really like the twisties..im sorry like i said but if i pass by a car with racing seats i always asume tehy do some form of racing or just luv to do twisties...just to look "cool" specialy when the rest of the interior is like cloth or something like you'd end up with to me just doesn't seem right at all..seems like ur trying a little to hard to impress no one sorry dude just my opinion..not trying to pick a argument
