those do look awesome

I don't see why people do not like the X seats, I think they look nice. I know they had their issues with them coming apart but they are good looking seats.

Props to the OP for being one of the first out there to take such a ballsy project

Yep, next step is to call Recaro today to try and source some material I have to have it match or be very close.
Check Joann fabrics for replacement material. I can almost guarantee they have something similar to whats on the X Recaros for a much cheaper price than getting it from Recaro.....

Wayne, I am real glad you like them. I think they look real good in your car!! I can't wait to see you put those side bolsters to use at the track this summer

I have an idea for your backseat. How about pulling it out and installing that roll cage we talked about. Your going to need it at the track this summer with all that power your putting down.

Thanks guys! You can find the seats for sale on here. I really like the support, I think the bottom cushion has better bolsters than the 8 seats. Plus I love the look of all black

Thanks buddy! I do think a bolt in cage will be in the works for my car. Really, no one rides in the back seat anyways. I am tired of getting kicked out of the dragstrip and 3rd. Since I will be taking the car to a road course I will feel safer with one in it for the power level I am at now.

I will get some better piqs this weekend with some natural light.
