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)

Big improvement over OEM camaro seats. I did not weigh the seat, but it felt about the same as the power drivers seat that I removed. The seat bottom is foam on top of steel wire (spings) instead of just a form. The material blends nicely with the existing "black" vinyl and plastic dash and trim pieces. It doesn't match the stock seat material (but I didnt expect it to).

I sit about .5 to 1 inch higher than with the stock seat. I always adjusted the stock seat full down in the rear and almost full up in the front.

I purchased two seats, but had to return one for a replacement because it had a minor blemish on the back. I gambled by buying these seats mail order. It payed off.

These are not as comfortable as some higher end seats that I've tested. But they were very easy on my kids college tuition funds (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
