I think that I like those seats better than the all leather because it is not so bland. It gives more of a tone to the interior.

Yeah- I hope the IX seats are not of the same internal construction as the VIII's- go out to your car and push on the side "bolster"- it's not even a bolster, it's just shaped foam- there is nothing rigid in there at all-
IMO- the stock USDM VIII seats are CRAP not worthy of the Recaro name on them...

Those seats are a lot nicer looking then the '03-'05 Evolution VIII seats (Both the cloth, and the leather), in my opinion. I'd buy a set to stick in my GSX.

I bet those would have worn much better than the 03' seats... They wear pretty easily on the bolsters.


...and BTW there are still a lot of "Americans" who carry the majority of their 240+lbs from the lats up

They are the same style, but different materials, and different colors. The Evolution's Recaros haven't really changed style from 2002, to now (Based on Recaro's Sportline/Topline series). If I know my Evolution seats, those look like the Evolution VII seats.
