They appear to be the base model FD cloth seats, not sure of the model number though. Come to think of it, I’ve never seen an FD with cloth seats. I guess they didn't produce a lot of cars with this option.

Those are the "Base" model seats. And I agree they do look good and probably wear better than the others. Cloth seats also came in the R1/R2 models.... Faux suede.

Yup, base model seats. I have a friend whose FD has them. They're actually very nice and alot more comfortable and more durable than my leather seats.

Yes, these seats are very rare. I had a set in my first FD. The pattern kinda looks like carbon fiber. I think these are the best looking seats they had in the FD

I like the suede seats in the R1. If I ever replace them I think I'd go for the micro suede Corbeau.

RZ/Spirit-R Recaros -> Alcantara (pseudo-suede) -> cloth -> leather

I'm surprised anyone would pick cloth over alcantara, if they've actually tried both. Admitedly, the alcantara (like suede) can be hard to keep looking clean.

Leather is, IMO, out of place in an FD.

the car is sitting in a garage with the engine out of it, and has been there for the past 2 or so years. so not to worried about it lol. and you dont need to use the ebrake, just put that sucker in first, it wont roll.

so is there a way to tell how many cars have them? because you hardly ever see them in the for sale section.
