The stitching on those looks like it was done in the dark by a drunk kid.

AHHHHhhh... I see what they did there..

Still pretty nice seats though. I'm sure they're not of the same quality but they're a half-decent fake.

[Huff]

Legit or Fake?

I've been looking around Recaro's site and I can't seem to find these anywhere.. I company (out of Atlanta) is selling them as legit SRD's on eBay:

[Jand3rson]

Those would be AWESOME for someone that still has a tan interior.

BTW, I just picked up that pair of Recaro Trophys pictured above. :up:

[a2coupe2a]

Selling these LX-A's right now if anyone is interested.

Sorry if this has been addressed before but do all the grays and trophies tilt forward or only the GTI versions?

The outer bolsters on both of those are going to need to be replaced, possibly all 4 of them. And the upper bolster(s) on the driver side will definitely need it, the passenger looks fine.

What would I be looking at for outers on both, along with one upper (which is one piece, both sides, right)? What about all 4 outer bolsters and one upper?

[a2coupe2a]

putting in an order for foam tonight lmk if you want to order some

[Jand3rson]

I'm picking these up in about a week, they will be my new "Recaro Rescue" project. :D Getting the pair for $100. :up:

The lower bolsters on both seats will need to be replaced, as well as the uppers on the driver's side, and black vinyl on both seats will be replaced with heavy black cloth.

It seems rougher and more "open" than what houndstooth sport seats have, but I've never looked at a set of those closely.

It is a black fabric, just looks grayish in that light. (and also has faded in the last 20 years)

[a2coupe2a]

for the black cloth i would dig around and try to find a decent match. Is it the same as what was used on the houndstooth seats? Im actually looking for that fabric right now (it seems to be more of a grey then black though)

[kronus]

My front inserts are in good shape, I was asking about the black cloth for the front upper bolsters.
