Good condition "Lux-seude" seats come up cheap on the Japan auctions. Perhaps try Jesse Streeter. Often the RHD RHS passenger side are in pretty great shape.

Removing just a few bolts allows the seat to fold in on itself and shipping by sea mail may be quite inexpensive.

Thanks for the recommendation. There are actually a bunch of seats on buyee and other Japanese auction sites but I've never been able to bid or buy stuff. It always has this message:

"You cannot bid on this item. Buyee has already manually reviewed this auction and determined that it is prohibited.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience."

After contacting them there was nothing they could do so I'm pretty much stuck looking in the US.

When I get that message, I go through Jesse Streeter. He usually can work it. Maybe because he takes delivery domestically in Japan and repacks to ship overseas.

His fees are barely noticeable.

Not sure he is favourable to doing seats.

This one has "purpled" out and the seatbelt guide is broken. Fading of guide indicates it is from a fairly old car. You could likely hold out for a deep black one from an s8.

I ended up just winning an auction through Jesse Streeter last night for about $160. Though shipping is going to be double + that it's still a good value. Decent looking seat with the belt guide still intact. Really appreciate the assist on this one man!
