    Which way to go...Houndstooth vs Recaro??

    So now that Im getting to the point of interior, stumbled on a Houndstooth interior. Its not the cleanest ive seen but it just needs some love.
    Which brings me to R3v to help me make A Decision.....Houndstooth or Recaro???? The Recaros will get reupholstered and use a stock rear bench. Houndstooth will get a deep clean and patch work.
    Would like to keep things original but Recaros are a nice set to drive in...also looks HOT!!! So tell me what your opinions are so i can make the right choice!! Thanks!!
    here are some pics............

              Sports seats are nice, but recaros are recaros.

                  there is nothing more to add.

                  i like the e30 sport seats because they are much better than "sport seats" from other brands. but recaro is recaro and they are so comfortable.

                      Truuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuue.

                      But I'm also thinking of the integrity of the car. I nice clean complete original interior is also nice.

                              I have recaros and will never look back. If you are set on houndstooth, get the inserts redone then. I just had my back seat redone to match mine. I have the black and gray ones so the euro door panels matched. As far as the integrty of the car, it is not an m3, just make it match and look nice.

                                  But...... Recaro's always look nicer. But You will have to prob reupholster the whole interior (back seats) for it to look good , especially for what you are doing to your car

                                              The Recaro interior I have looks pretty sharp. I'll upload some pics in a little while. Its a Recaro Gradient interior.
