Well to be quite honest I'm a fan of Japanese cars so thanks. Just because I didn't get full custom leather recaros they are cheap? This exact setup came out of an e92 M3 at SEMA

I go canyon driving just about every weekend, and will go the track with friends on occasions, ascetic appeal/pricing was the overall thing that made me get these. I had both seats installed with all mounting hardware and a set of 4point harnesses for less than one of the seats you linked. IMO I would just save to get new car if I'm spending +4K on just two front seats... Sorry we can't all ball out as hard as you with your 328i xdrive. Your painted keyhole cover is much classier and more functional

thanks! I went with black as a posed to red because I would love to take them into my next car I am looking at and Black is an easier color to work with. Will probably trade up in the future though

Thanks, probably would've bona with suede centers if I went 2 tone though, and as mentioned before all black was easier to work with

What did you use to trick the airbag malfunction?

Looking into a seat upgrade as well.

Love this!

Yeah, I understand. Black looks great though, not a bad choice at all. I think the Pole Positions look better than the CS or the Speed.

The seats would look so good re wrapped. It's that hint of flow that's missing. I've always been a stickler for seats matching. Either rewrap or do a seat delete in the rear.

Your seats look good man. If you decided to upholster your cushions in suede for shows, you might want to order an extra set for the track and hot summer days or get them treated. Sweaty/wet suede isn't a good look.

look not even a pdf!

Oh don't get me wrong, I love japanese econoboxes! Back in 08 when I started my mid-life crisis I bought a MazdaSpeed 3, got a modified K02 turbo plus a bunch of other stuff that made the car completely undriveable. It was a beast to drive but fun as hell!

Listen, I didn't know I had the power to make you upset this way. If you post something on the internet people will have an opinion and some people won't like your stuff. Not a big deal...

At the end of the day if you are happy with it and think they look great that is what matters. Enjoy you seats brother!

Nah! These seats are around $2000, Excise Title Tax was 6%. Pretty much the same.

Keep in mind I never said the seats were cheap... They just LOOK cheap compared to the rest of the car.

I don't have a problem with anything you've said and really am not mad, I just have a hard time to agree with your statements when you have hardly modified your car and call mine cheap and unfunctional

I'm glad I didn't make you mad since it was not my intention. Your previous post gave me that impression.

Yeah I know the seats I posted are not cheap! I thought the guy was talking about your seats, that's why my quick clarification with the Excise tax.

Anyway, enjoy the seats and don't fart on them!
