oooooo, carbon kevlar, you went with the very expensive seats kai. Though you always go big, so we really shouldnt be surprised.

Its nice that you have a white car, because you are doing to your car pretty much everything i want to do to mine, so its just showin me what my car will look like. Great job man and keep the mods comin.

The only issue there is, is the side rubs on the door panel a bit but not much to bother me, it is very comfortable to drive with...

The Bride rail is the FG series and you can slide it. It uses all the stock seat rail bolting points. I have brand new FG seat rails in stock for the 3rd gen. They are extremely hard to come by. You know where to get them when you need some. I can only sell them as a set though, driver and passenger together.

For myself, I am going to get the latest Bride Gias Gradation. Carbon Kevlar and reclinable. As you know, I am getting old and I need some comfort.

Now you know those are my seats Chuck, but I guess it's okay since you are on the West Coast and I am on the East. OH! BTW, that thing is on it's way to you.

Recaro USA does not import red SPG. The only way to get them will be importing from Japan. It's a lot of hassle and it costs more.
