Adam,

Gonna have to say boo on you guys at z1auto for messing up this time. I know not everyone's perfect but I sent you an email on tuesday and I'm not on your list? I even have the copies of the mail you sent, and you decided not to respond to me... anyway. With a waiting list of 60 people and me apparently being at the very bottom, I'm gonna havta look elsewhere to pick up this badge.. the least you could do was respond to my email.

How much? It's only money - also, do they have the seat in Blue by You? If not, I'd want black leather... Thanks, Adam

I think it's close to $1,700 for the set.

Is that just the fronts or including the rear, too? If it's for all the seats (front and back), that is worth it.

I can remember getting a price quote for a set of BMW sport seats for my 4.4i X5. The price was $3,800 each. Needless to say I left that one alone.

$1,700 for two leather Recaro's would be a deal!

Btw- You shouldn't have to buy the entire back seat, just the upper and lower covers. When we bought my wifes toyota sequoia it had a small razor nick in one of the rear leather seat covers. The dealership ordered the new cover and later I watched as they replaced it in a matter of minutes.

The doorpanel inserts would also be a plus to complete the kit.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's just the fronts.

I put this in the other thread about the badges, but I'll repeat it here. I just checked out Lancershop's Evo 8 badge, but they say it's from Japan. However that badge isn't from Japan, it's from the UK only!!!! Make sure it's not a fake (I am not implying that Lancershop is faking it, they might not know).

BTW, thanks again Adam for the real deal from the UK!!

I can't wait to put it on...
Hey Chris,

I checked with the people form Lancershop.com and this was their response:

"Hello,

The picture you sent is what it will look like (I sent him a picture of the badge).

The badge is actually from UK our web designer accidentally put they are JDM, which they are NOT.

We will have pictures once they arrive at our shop."

Hope this helps.

Like I said, I didn't think Lancershop was pulling a fast one - I just want people to know there is no JDM Evolution VIII badge...

Thanks for the clarification.

I remembered where I saw the seats.

Japanparts.com:

JP ¥197,600.00 = US $1,658.69

Here's a pic:

God bless that's a lot of money. For that money, I can get full-carbon/kevlar Recaros.

Yup, got your email about it earlier. Dunno why there would be all that confusion though - I remember emailing from that account, as I don't have an email with "zstryder" in it... oddly enough.

Sorry about the trouble, it's all worked out now!
