Default Recaro Seats for GS...Interested??

Who would be interested in some type of group buy in Recaro sport seats for the GS?
Many options here...

A. Manual cloth seat.
B. Manual Leather seat.
C. Power Leather seat.

These seats are much better for cornering your GS than the current OEM seats. One thing though, they are not as luxurious. No heat and power lumbar. I have talked with Recaro about these seats and they have said if there is enough interest in these seats that they will make mounting brackets for us.
SRT might be interested in a dealer in these seats if there is enough interest out there. Let me know.
Thanks
MIKE
p.s. www.recaro.com is the website.....take a look.

I would ONLY do those seats if they were leather and matched the exact color of the rest of my leather, if the seats wouldnt match, that would look real ugly IMO.

no point in getting recaros if they're in leather. You'll still be sliding left and right no matter how well the hold is

I would like to have black Recaro STYLE seats, manual is not a problem. If they're going to be recaros, they need to be in cloth.

Ever notice the leather recaros all look just like business chairs not racing seats?

I've sat in the 2 on the left, trust me, even in leather, they'll hold you very well.
You can even get those with heated seats and stuff.
I really like recaro's!!

Tenzo R seats are *****ty quality. I'll rather have stock Toyota Echo seats over TenzoR seats.

You drive a Lexus not a honda. Fix up accordingly
