Recaro seats seem cheaply made
I love the seats in my X, but I gotta say that they seem a little cheap where the racing harness holes are. Those faux carbon things are really cheap feeling, and today I noticed that on my passenger side the fabric was sagging slightly around one of them, exposing a staple that apparently has come loose! I tucked it back in, and you can't see it anymore but if you pull on it it comes back out pretty easily. I wonder if I took it to the dealer if they would do anything about it. My guess is that whatever they would do I could do myself, i.e try to lift up that plastic piece and use a staple gun to try and resecure it, etc. Has anyone else had this happen? Doesn't really bother me THAT much, although it is a little disappointing. Oh well, I didn't buy the car for the interior, but it would be nice if mitsu could make sure that crap like this doesn't happen. Anyway, what do you guys think?

I had the same staple issue. Its coming apart from that faux carbon piece. Since going to the leather, this problem has been solved, but the construction isnt that good. I had the same dang issue with the VIII seats as well. The plastic seat belt guides kept popping out and exposing all the foam, but at least I didnt get stabbed with a staple

I too was disapointed with the X when it came to material and the cheap carbon fiber look. I just saw the Recaro's that are going into the the new RX8's and wished they would have put those in the X.
