Sorry I don't like it, it's a mismatch for the car ...

The LS is an elegant car and if one must mod it, it must be done tastefully. Putting in recaro seats in such a beautiful car to me seems blasphemous. Why would someone want to to this? One of the reasons of buying such a car is for the amazing seats. The seats had all the features one could want, and now it's been replaced with something way inferior, that cannot have the same features. Waste of money and talent. I would hate to see this car continue down this path. To each their own. I think it looks disasterous !

...and the reason for fitting it in LS is what?!??

I would clap with my hands if it would be fitted with some kind of very very soft armchair...

Not too shabby! I'm too cheap to do something like that, but I like it...

What is the wire you are splicing, airbag? Are these seats electrically adjustable? Any issues with error messages or codes from not having the original seats in place?

You seem to be confused and think that you have purchased a sports car. These seats have no place in an LS. More money then 'cents' I'd have to say.

Although I don't think those belong on an LS, I can tell a lot of fabrication and time was put into that recaro seat, because it matches the interior very well. I give them props for that
