2 tone Recaro style seat
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.

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

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.

Floor mats might be too many emblems in the car.

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.

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.
