Default Recaro’s Verses Stock seats? WWYD?

OK guys I need some convincing. I have these new leather Recaro’s just setting around in my basement. I have them all set up and equipped with SC mounts and seat belts. My big hang up is they are not power or heated.

Pros

Recaro’s
 Look cool
 Weigh less

Factory seats
 Are comfortable, I suppose the Recaro’s are too.
 They are power and operate with memory controls (it is supposed to be a luxury car?)
 They are heated (I live in KS)

What do you all think? I suppose its fair to say this car isn’t my daily driver.

Worst case I guess it keep the stock seats, you can always throw them back in. Those Recaros look to nice to not be in a SC.

OK, I am going to go bolt one in right now. Anyone got any idea how to wire the seat belt back in to work? I know there has to be a sensor that detects a passenger. I got a extra set of stock belts hoping they would just plug in but no can do, there is a ton of wires under the seats. Is it posible to wire in the belt to the main harness and make the seat belt light go out?

OK they are starting to grow on me, maybe I won’t miss my power seats?

BTW wheels will be for sale very soon.
