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)

Thanks for your feedback

Eugenio-

Hope that all turns out well with the car project!

I needed some better seats and ended up going with some inexpensive knock-offs from summit. Synthetic/vinyl leather, reclining with attached rails/sliders. Check out summit PN SUM-G1155 $199 US.

The front rail mounting points happen to line up perfectly with the OEM studs. The rear will be a bitch to install because it falls on top of the floorpan frame, unless you shift the front mounting points fore or aft.

I am 6'2" 195LB and the fit is pretty good. Better than OEM camaro seats, but not as comfy as other aftermarket seats. The build quality of the seats is not shabby. I guess the quality of child labor in China has improved.

Weight is on par with the OEM motorized seat.

Knowing that the pair costs me $409 new makes them all that more comfortable.

I just got the seats yesterday and installed the drivers side last night. I will post a picture soon.
