New Recaros(Finally)

[WillisE30]

So I finally got my Recaro Speed seats in recently and got around to taking pictures. It tooks a couple months for the seats to show, but that's another story. Before anyone says anything about how Speeds are no good compared to SRDs I thought I'd toss this out here, from what I can tell it's the same thing. The label on the boxes from Recaro listed the seats as having SR backs with D lower cushions, in other words SRDs(I'll be happy to provide photo evidence tomorrow if people don't believe me). Anyway, here it is....

I also ditched the blacked out kidney grill since it was in bad shape, the chrome is growing on me

If you don't mind me asking, but where and how much?

[E-rich]

damn very nice...loks like time for new wheels and tires....

[backtrail69]

Looks great man. Now all you need is suspension...and shifter to go with the seats. You better watch your back.. those are my favorite seats.

[Kwaaahhh]

Man your rear seats are mint! :up:

I ordered them through Speedware Motorsports, they're local to me. I initially made my order with an employee that was canned shortly there after for a host of screw ups, including my order. In the end the guys there did their best to make things right, and despite the frustrations I'd do business with them again.

I paid retail price for regular Speeds, but got seats with a sub belt hole, part of the deal we worked out after the initial mess. I also purchased brackets from them and a set of Recaro sliders. All totaled up I spent $2600 on the two seats, brackets, harnesses, sliders, driving gloves, and a few other misc items. Expensive, yes. But that was my federal income tax return this year so I didn't miss it much.

Nice seats, but WOW!.......$2600 thats some serious cash for seats.

Do you see plastic bumpers in your future?

That figure is a little misleading, that includes state sales tax at 8.8 or so %. The seats were about 700 ea. Once you add in the other crap the number starts to make more sense.

wouldn't change a thing. Car looks good

[Raxe]

Really nice example of a metal bumper car.

[Jeremiel5]

oh wow! where'd you get it?

Not sure why people wouldn't like the Speeds, they are just like you said: basically an SRD take 2. The head rest is taller and the bollsters slightly modified, but other then that, the same seat. Even feel the same when sitting in them ;)

Nice choice, I like the blue stitching on them :)
