2 tone Recaro style seat

[evo-r]

Installed the passenger side Recaro style (replica) 2 tone seat with Planted seat bracket, will install the driver side soon. It fits just perfect and feels firmer than stock, quality is fine. I also ironed the Porsche crest patch to the headrest. Everything bought from eBay.

The seats are sweet, but the wallpaper is top notch!

Wow, top work ! Can you please post more pics of both seats in with top down.
Beautiful indeed, love that wall paper too !

Porsche headrest patch? I Gotta have that! Was it easy to apply?

[heliguy]

And please...Put the other one in and take a pic with the top down!

That's cheap for some bucket seats! How's quality? My seat is all ripped up, I may pull the trigger on just one.

Thanks guys on the "library" wallpaper, it was my first wallpaper job which my wife picked it out. Back to the seats, the patch is very easy to apply, just place a damp towel over them then iron it on.

As far as the quality of these seats, it's no OEM but you definitely get your money worth. If I didn't tell you the price you would probably guess each seat cost $500+.

Here are more pictures following the installation today.

I found the patch on eBay, that item says "4 PCS". For the $15.99 do I get 4 and select "quantity 1", or do I select "quantity 2"? If I select "quantity 2" will I get 8 patches?

I'm afraid the closest one is black/orange, but I've only seen blk/blk, blk/white and blk/red on eBay.

Patches are on order, now what to do with the two extra? I guess one will go on the back of my Member's Only jacket.

Some people also use them on baseball cap or even floor mats.

[heliguy]

Floor mats might be too many emblems in the car.

Kudos! I think that the new seats look great. Awesome job.

Looks pretty sharp indeed. How does the weight compare to the oem? heaters? power recline? material?

They probably weight a little lighter than stock but those Planted seat brackets are heavy duty stuff. No heater or power adjustments, only manual sliding and reclining. These seats are made with PVC leather (leatherette), easy maintenance.

[fatmike]

can you slide the seat back and have the headrest fit under the roll bar? I need my seat back more than what is in the picture.

Really good look, and seems like a great mod for the money.
