Boyfriend used to say the same thing too until he let me clean them. I got all of his "permanent" grease, fast food, and water stains out of them. Just gotta use the right upholstery stuff on them.

You won't be able to find them anywhere for less than $400-500 + shipping. Aftermarket would be cheaper + with aftermarket you can get seats that match your car w/colored inserts and whatnot.

 

I love my recaros. They hold me in the seat. Then again bigger then normal people would not fit well in them. Also, if you have recaro seats you have G85, and thats always a +. G85 aka LSD

 

dont want colored inserts. and i have seen people on here sellin them for pretty cheap sometimes

 

They are the ****! That is all!

 

apparently you've never heard of Recaro until you got into Cobalts.

Recaro = badass. They make race seats for lots of popular race cars, and they made the special OEM seats for such cars as the EVO, GTI anniversery model, Jetta GLI, Civic Type-R, Integra Type-R, NSX Type-R, etc etc......

 

that would be correct. my cobalt is my first car. and untill now i never gave a damn about seats

 

I've never seen a set go for less than $350 + shipping. BTW shipping STARTS at $250 and goes up from there usually. Trust me, I've been looking around for a set for 3 years. You might want to call around out of curiosity to local junkyards. That's the only way to get a set for "cheap" (under $500 total).

 

lol, no excuse. I had a subscription to Super Street and Sport Compact Car when I was 13.......3 years before I even had my licence, lol. I was educated on car stuff before I even got my first car.

(im 21 now for the record)

 

haha, dont get me wrong, i was very similar, except i was only into ald muscle cars dude! restorations and ****... never looked at I4's, racing seats, injectors, anthing computer controlled, sensors, etc.

 

I got mine for $200.

Brand new condition too

Also, what did you use/how did you clean them?

I've tried TuffStuff, just left stains, water, more stains, steam clean, even more, and water + dish soap and god it was horrid.

 

http://www.3mestore.com/auto-care-ox...t-cleaner.html is great, but I actually used http://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Wax-T24...0028572&sr=1-5

Use the brush but very very lightly, then vaccuum when you're done. If it doesn't work the first time, use a towel or mesh dish sponge to scrub it.

 

Mine aren't like actual stains, more water spots. With the recaro's, whenever water gets on them it leaves a spot. That's exactly what I have.

 

It gets them out. The reason I had to clean by boyfriend's seats is he was working on the car, had the seats out, set them along the side of my garage and left them there. It rained. The garage leaks. His seats were sitting under a waterfall. There wasn't a single spot left on them when I was done.

 

i have g85 but no recaro's .. fckin 07's im still pissed about that

 

i got them.

 

Personally I find the recaros rather shallow and pedantic.

 

"yes, shallow and pedantic" lol no but seriously i love my recaros, i cant stand driving my bros ss. his seats are pooooo. leather is all nasty and ****. but you can really tell when taking corners fast and driving hard. really makes you feel more comfortable while your driving
