Recaro swap?

Sorry if this is a repost, but the search button isn't working and I sorted through pages and pages in the Appearance forum. How easy is the swap from basic seats to Ion Recaros? Will I need to fabricate anything or will it mount right up? Any help is much appreciated.

You used the original sliders and racks and everything? How long did it take?

Where did you get them and how much did you pay? Sorry, I just want to make sure I'm getting a good deal.

No I Dont Have Them Yet .. Seen Them On Ebay For Around 200.00 They Are 2seats With A Cup Holders In The Middle They Swap Right In Also ,, I Have A Friend With A Ion And I Already Made Sure They Would Fit So When I Got Ready To Get Them ,, Everything Is Swapable

I Have A Picture In My Photo's With The Recaro Fronts In They Were A Good Investment They Are So Much Better Than The Stock Seat S

Well I won a pair of front Recaros from an Ion Redline on eBay for $195. I have to go pick them up next week. Hell of a deal if you ask me.

Black with blue inserts. When I get them, I'm going to try trading them to someone on this site for all black ones. I don't think the blue inserts will match well.
