Seats Question

If i get a good deal on a 2010 RASB can i easily swap the recaros for heated/leather seats from a GTS?
-Is the wiring harness already there and all i need is the switches and to install the fuse for the seats? [fingers crossed]

-If i get the 'regular' cloth seats - same question?

I 'assume' i should get the Recaros - because many people would be willing to trade...

Yes, i want heated leather seats not recaros[.]


OR am i better off just getting the 2011 RASB?

Thanks!

(ohboyohboyohboyohboy i am getting close to pulling the trigger.....)

So many people would want to buy/trade for Recaro's, including myself (if I had the money)

If you also want the Rockford Fosgate sound system and the HID's, I would just get one with the Recaro package and sell/trade the seats. You won't have a problem getting rid of them at all

get the premium package it comes with leather

if you get the bas model RA u relise you can buy the leather seat covers for the recaros from mitsu parts right? then you'd have factory heated leather recaro seats instead of some crap GTS seats

Unless you hate the Recaros. We have a company install heat into our customers seats. I wouldn't think twice to put them in the Recaro's. They would work just as good if not better. IMAO Doing it this way would help retain your value.

but the 2010 RASB does have the recaro option, and you ~can~ get the leather kit from mitsu to keep the interior OEM if that's your goal...

I personally like the stock Recaro's (leather or not). With that kind of money you're willing to spend, I rather put the money towards engine performance parts/tune.

It could be possible; all it says it "Leather Seating Surfaces with front seat heaters".
I seem to remember that for the 2010 models they made a point of stating Recaro's. If they do offer that for 2011 you would think that would be a rather significant selling feature, worth of at least stating Recaro's. Who knows, it is Mitsu, and there are different packages for US vs CAN vs AUS, etc, etc

Trust me once you get a RA and start takin corners faster and faster . You will def want recaros the hold you in and there super comfortable... that is if your not fat/overweight... you should take a test drive in the RA with and without recaros. You should be able to make up your mind pretty quick
