"euro style race seats" and a bunch of anime (sp) of cartoon chicks, well, they must be great seats

- They may be "stylish" but I saw NO information about manufactuter or quality. TUV approved is nice (and is a valid Euro rating) but who says they really are TUV approved? Just because someone typed it on an EBAY website makes it true?

Recaros START around $500 a seat and go into the thousands (Factory Porsche GT3 seats are made by Recaro. They run about $2500/pr). I am not sure if still true, but I believe RECARO is an OEM supplied to all the German brands (BMW, Porsche, Audi, VW, M-B)
