        They look ok. I can't say I'm impressed because when I heard you were getting the alpina cloth I was expecting the vertical green/blue line. They would grow on me but personally I'd like the Corbeau's better.

        Speaking of which, whatever happened to them?

          They're just a little rough around the edges, but I don't see what's wrong with stock headrests...

            I think you will like them more when you see them in person. I forgot to mention I am putting black leather headrests on them so the perforations will be gone on the head rests.

            I traded the Corbeaus for these... but I am going to talk to Rob about that...

              i think the flash is killing it. i know exactly what yourr talking about tj. my seats are the same. i actually had to swap the drivers and pass side becuase my drivers had too much gangsta lean. they're good though. you'll enjoy them and take some day pics with no flash. im sure they look good.

                  I knew they'd turn out shitty with the flash, I wasn't going to post pics but I didn't want to make Ben angry :)

                        What matches? The seats are black, and like I said the new shift and ebrake boots are in the mail.

                        Just because you drive a stock iX with an ugly front lip that every one hates on doesn't mean you need to be bitter and shit talk minor details.

                          Where is the play in the seats?

                          There's two bolts you can tighten at the back near the bottom of the seat back, if the play is limited to the seat back.

                          I think they look nice man, only thing I would have done is upholster the headrest center in the same cloth.

                            they look pretty good, I'm always down with a nice set of sport seats. as far as the frames, I'm sure they can be repaired, you'd just need to make sure to repair any cracks or broken bolts. my passenger side is a little loose (probably from my 220lb friend who rides with me all the time), but nothing a little R&R couldn't take care of.

                            also, if you can't fix them, you could always find a set of sport seats with crappy covers and good frames, and swap yours over.

                            btw, how much did that cost? I like the alpina material, but I think I like it with the green/blue stripes better.

                              The play is in the seat back only on the passenger side, the play on the drivers side is neglible. It won't bother me.

                                How long did it take the shift boot to turn brown?was it from the sun?


                                The seats look ok but,I thought you would end up with some badass Recaros.
