Hi all,

Looking into chosing a race-seat that is blaack leather (or looks like black leather) so that it blends with the car.
Anyone have a Recaro Sport or even a Recaro Speed on their car... I want to see what it looks like.
I've found this for the Speed, even if not leather (black vinyl), it looks like it.
These seem to be at $650 a piece, which is much cheaper than what I can find in leather.
Just starting to budget for the winter. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I just installed a drivers side Recaro Speed 5 point in black cloth and red stitching. Using the Recaro mounting bracket it fit like a glove with no issues. The sliders have tabs with 3 different mounting holes both front and rear to adjust height. I'm 6'2" with no head room issue on a non t top coupe with helmut on. It is darn close though. Over all comfort is good, but kind of tight in the hip area on the bottom cushion. That's probably more an issue with me than the seat . In conclusion I would suggest them highly. I bought mine from Pete at T.C. Kline Racing.
