"early" VW recaro trophies in an E-30 reupholstered with matching back seat

Eh, whatever. They're comfy as hell, badass looking, and they say Recaro on them. I'm satisfied.

Yes, I'm a brand whore. :D

Back in the day when i used to be a hard core dubber. Now i'm only a part time dubber at beast. There should be a manfacture sticker on the bottom of the seat base with a rainbow colored recaro tag and fabric codes. I beleive it shows the origin as well.

i don't know, but stranger things have happened with VW, like say digifant injection.
just kidding with you josh :D

The early ones are true recaro design seats. The newer ones were made by VW. So basically they are VW seats with Recaro embroidery. So are we going to do a group buy to save on shipping?

I've never heard of anything like that. Where did you hear that?

[Nicademus]

so that makes mine cooler than josh's right???????

I think so. Yours are the ones I really love. I remember back when I just turned 16 my friend had a red jetta with your seats in it. I can recall talking about how comfortable they were. At the time I didn't much care about this stuff though.

Agreed. That and mine are stamped 1985...? Damn these seats are as old as me.

dam! i was in 8Th grade. i am Luke old!

[der affe]

year of manufacture doesn't really make a difference with the vw seats though. the "early" ones were used from 85-89
and the lates were used from 90-92 except for the Helios blue ones which were always the late style

[M42Technik]

Yeah, my bolsters don't look anywhere near that size.

the late ones are like joshes.

i think yours are more like josh's.

[M42Technik]

Hmm now I'm confused as to which I have. I'm assuming it is the same, smaller ones...? It looks like I have taller but skinnier ones and Josh has lower but wider bolsters...

[Jand3rson]

Sweet, I'll make sure I clarify that with them before ordering them.
