My new seats :-)
Being in Europe we don't see that many 'rare' or JDM parts, unless we order it.
So I found a set of RZ carbon kevlar seats on a UK RX7 forum.
Honestly, the drivers' side (now my pasenger seat as I'm LHD) has serious wear on the cloth but both seats will be refurbished)
I bought these very cheap with rails and everything and I'm guessing I'm about the only one in Europe with these seats. So I'm frigg'in proud of it :-)
pics are cell phone quality, sorry

sure they are used... at 4000dollar per seat new from Mazda I'm not buying them new.
I'm going to put new clear coat on the backs and new fabric/mousse on them.

Nice. Make sure you post pics after you're done refurbishing them!

I'm going to have them refurbished with the Recaro suede fabric but I might ask the shop to use red stitching (like the spirit R nardi steering wheel and shift booth.
Should give a nice effect

The seats weigh about 10 lbs IIRC (or less than 5 kg 
), but the rails are fairly heavy.
Switching from R1 seats to the Spirit R seats ended up trimming about 20 pounds off my curb weight.
