How come it doesn't have the Recaro logo on the seats?

I could be wrong, but I dont think these are actually a Mitsubishi part.
Look at the side of the passenger side seat and you will see a familiar logo ( )

I am going to post pictures as soon as I get the digital camera back! BTW...... I had an after-market company do the work. They did a great job....... but for $2300.

They talked to me about those seats when I ordered these...but I did not know they were $2300. I have seen them in a couple of cars and they look pretty nice. I just wanted to be a little more conservative.

Trying to get time to post the picts I took today but hard to right now while I am trying to move.

For those wanting parts numbers, contact Moe at Sam Swope Mitsubishi (google it). He is the one that did all the leg work in getting these together for me.

Wow, they really enhance the look of the car. I will keep these in mind when I pick up my Evo X. So these came with seat heaters? Or where they another part number? $1300 for all that is a good price from your dealer.

very interesting! thanks for pointing out the mitsu logo. I wonder why I have never heard of these... did they invoice you for the leather? If so, the part numbers should be listed on that....

thanks for sharing btw. They definitely look great!

I like it but i think i would hold off doing it since the interior is still newer. no point covering up a "nice" interior.

Well look at it this way, you cover the "new" interior an add the leathers, when the leathers start messing up, uncover it and you still have a "new" suede along with seats
