Grand pop used to say, "good things ain't cheap and cheap things ain't good" these seats are as functional as they are pleasing to the eye. There is a reason why people are always looking for and trying to get a set of used leather ones. How are things coming along with the seat install very curious and have been watching every day for updates.

I'm on hold. Between a crazy work schedule and a couple of other irons in the fire, I simply don't have the time right now. Hopefully, pony23 is making progress with this one.

You have no idea. I'm doing a job at an Indian casino in Niagara Falls right now. Crazy hours, bad drawings, poor weather conditions, an unreasonable schedule, and I am forced to have a workforce comprised by 51% Seneca tribe. The few hours I get to recover on Sunday aren't enough to get my head into much car-wise...

good luck getting the job done.... maybe just offer the 51% some fire water and get the other guys to kick it up a notch?


yes I know that's a politically incorrect comment - take a joke guys

Hehe, thanks. I went down into the basement and sat in the seats for the first time, simply because I never had. My assessment? They are nothing less than awesome. Very comfortable and fit my 6'-0" 220lb frame perfectly.

I know what you mean, I sat in my 2013 seats when I got them a couple days ago and they feel great! I'm 190 and so excited but like you I have to retro fit to make them work in my 2009. So if I come up with anything before you I'll let you know. Get some rest and try to enjoy what little free time u have right now.

I just got a message regarding the "B" Recaro seats from FRPP. There are only a handful of them left and then the only listing will be the slightly more expensive "C" seat. Unless of course, a leather offering ever happens.:whine:

We got an "official" 16 inches where I live. At least it was a powder as opposed to a heavy wet snow which made shoveling that much more bearable. Fair enough, February is historically the worst in terms of precip.

Man, I can't wait for a warm, sunny day!

We have awesome dry weather in the 70's but thats because I'm vacationing in Kauai! The speed limits are mostly 35 with some as high as 50. There is a drag strip here made from an old air force runway. All the older cars are rusted to nothing.
