    What do you guys charge for those black vinyl Trophy replacements? Uppers and lowers for 2 seats. I'm thinking about now keeping them in black vinyl instead of cloth, to match the black vinyl/grey cloth door panels I have. PM me with a price.

          Pic of said recaro? were they imported from europe? Because we never got them here..

          Either way the mk3's didnt get a "real" recaro. It was a hybrid recaro made specifically for the mk3. So if it is a genuine mk3 recaro your best bet would be to cut the feet, re-enforce the base and run an e30 mount with a generic slider. Honestly it would be much easier and more cost effective to sell them and get a set of power ls's (mk2 vw recaros)

              why not sell them and get mk2 recaros? Those are worth way more.. with the money you make you could nearly cover having the mk2s recovered.

                Ok guys, I'm some what new to the whole BMW things but I've always loved Recaro seat's like the Classic C with the automatic control buttons. I would love to get a set but I don't know where to look for them or how much a a set would cost me. I'm on a serious budget cause I lost my job a couple of months ago but I still have 2 cars that I am trying to put back to gether one of which is my 90 325i. I never new about this forum. this is the most I've ever seen folks talk about Recaro seats ever!

                  expect to spend between 500 for a thrashed set to 2k for a recovered set. I have three sets and i would be willing to sell one but couldnt sell them cheap.

                      you could get an easy 5-600 out of them.

                          Indeed. $500 for each of them if in proper cared condition.

                          Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

                            Wow $500 and up a seat depending on the condition they're in! Well I guess I need to start saving up cause I really want to get some for my 325i and my other project car. Man I think I need to hurry up and find 2 jobs! lol

                                yes those are traditional gen 2 recaro LS's. You can see a build we did for that exact seat here..
