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.

I'm about a 36 or 38 waist depending on what I pig out on on a certain day. I have a shoulder harness bar and 5 point harness that I will use just for autocross. I wraped the waist and sub belt around the front and rear Recaro cross braces on the mounting bracket. I move the seat up from my normal position, tighten the belts, then move the seat back which really tightens them. Believe me when I say you will not move a quarter of an inch. Keep in mind that mounting your harness this way is not the hot setup from a safety standpoint. For the street I use my stock factory belt. Without the stock guide the factory shoulder belt rides up a little high near the neck. You could I believe easily attach the factory guide to the Recaro as it seems there is a solid area to attach it to. I'm a little hesitant to do that, if for someday I want to sell the seat.
