Hey DaiOni
Yea I saw that one...it's been up there for quite a bit, but I have no idea what the condition is of that left side bolster. He says something about protecting it w/ the leather bolster cover, but I have my doubts as to whether it's beat to hell under there or not. And if that thing is glued or sown on... I suppose if someone wants a seat regardless that would be great, but w/o absolute interest, I don't mess w/ parts of iffy quality...

I wouldn't be too sure about the lack of bolster condition - the covers have been popular for quite a while now (not surprising - as anyone who has owned or even sat in one of these will admit, they're a pain in the *** to get in and out of - and that's where you will be holding on to).
it looks like there might be a little bit of wear on the center section (though the seller says it's good) - hard to tell, but if I wanted it, I would ask for clarification.
I have a 4-seater, and like it that way, but this one had me tempted. Shame it's the wrong side (for me). I'll probably go with a set of reclinables.

Thank you sir, I'll checkout the those recaros, my problem is I'm a big guy - 6' 230lbs and Pro2000s fit me perfectly.

You can't really see it in the pics but the seats are faded a little.
I would like to re dye it or something but it might be too much of a hassle.. And I think new covers are SUPER expensive.
I've actually contacted Recaro and they said I HAVE to get it thru Mazda as Mazda owns the pattern of the seats or something and they can not make the covers.

Here's a fabric version which is a LOT more subtle and a better choice IMO:

Phil,
I don't know if you remember ronkmiller. He had a custom shop that could recover the seats it would most likely equal the cost of the seats but could be done.
I was thinking about this for the longest time as it would be nice to get them recovered in ultrasuede. Then it would never wear or fade. It would also probably cost a MINT!!! eh but what doesn't

But thanks...now I have a Recaro seats idea for my interior after seeing those and the pricing. Just wondering what a wedge job and/or PITA install is.
