Try it, you would be the first. Just remember to do a good write up on it.

You have to be one hell of an enthusiast to take on such a task. What are you current mods?

Vick 03-23-03 05:26 PM

jonski- do you still have that wing on your car?

They aren't worth putting in there. Get some normal red sparco's or recaro's.

Much cheaper and much lighter.

I think he's going for mostly looks....I say go for it!

Quik 93 FD 03-23-03 05:46 PM

i cant afford the leather sparco milanos so im gonna go with s2000 seats. my mods are in my sig. Im not really going for looks at all, i just want to clean up the tired 10 year old interior while looking different at the same time.

Why not re-wrap your seats red?

This was talked about before:

Seems most people agree that the seats are probably going to have fitment problems.

Since I currently own an S2000, I do have to say the seats are nice, but 90% of the time, if you're getting them used, they're stolen. They are also VERY heavy. Probably around ~40 lbs.

Personally I think the s2000 seats look cheap and the headrest is uncomfortable (there's a hole were your head is supposed to go). If I had a red fd I'd look for a set of M roadster seats. Perfect color, modern design, german leather, lots of support.

Here is a link to a nice picture of them:

the m roadster seats look like they weigh 100 pounds each, plus that nice german leather spells out to me in lots of american dollars to get them.

Hell yeah! Half of my rwhp comes from that bad boy.

heh.

Actually, I have an S2000 passenger seat sitting in my bedroom. If you want I can measure the dimensions of the rails and see if it would fit.

I don't know how anyone can say the S2000 seats look cheap if you've seen them in person. I've never known anyone to say something like that about anything Recaro. :P

And the way the headrest is, as with most racing seats, its set far enough back where if you're resting your head on it, you can't see. I never even have an urge to rest my head when I'm driving....

3 year bump here, Anyone ever do this? I'm asking because there are some red s2000 seats available locally, and for roughly the cost to recover my FD's seats.
