Recaro Advice

I really want a set of Recaro seats, I currently have the Black/Blue leather SS/SC buckets and rears, should I buy a set of aftermarket recaros in black and blue or find a set of black SS.SC Recaros and swap in a black rear cover and a set of black door panels?

I highly suggest these Recaro Seats. They are extremely cheap for what you get. I will be getting these in the fall in red. These will grip you better than the stock SS recaro seats.

....side note , youd definately have at least 1300 in buying the stock recaro's and having them recovered to match . The bad thing though , I doubt the blue inserts in those seats will match the stock blue color you have now .

Should you go with the stock recaros ,They only offer covers for the base seats now , but give leatherseats.com a try . They may do the Recaros' as well . There covers are equal to or better than OEM , they match the factory stitching and are 100% all real leather

Gravana sells a set of brackets for those seats are any other aftermarket seats like Sparco and Tenzo for around 130 bucks. As for those seats not bad looking but you know the blue part is suede. I was thinking of getting a set of black Recaro's perhaps leaving the back blue and the sides blue, what do you all think?

I plan on getting those(red) or the recaro SS seats either way gonna pay a pretty penny. Unless you can find a wrecked SS/SC w/ recaros in the junk yard. Plus I have it easier cuz I don't have to worry about matching colors in the interior.

you'll save so much money if you buy the package now than if you buy it seperately afterwards...
