Fox Red Recaro

Guys,

My fox red seats have started to show age and I'm thinking about Recaro seats as replacements but I just couldn't find any detail online. I know it's either gonna be custom made or reupholstered but I was wondering if any of you have fox red seats replaced and share some wisdom with me?

Yeah just confirmed, they can match it with a sample (I guess you can cut a piece from the old seat)

Theres a guy on ebay "Recaromax" who sells exactly what you're looking for. I'm in the market for the exact same thing and I've had a few convos with him. He will do it for 5450 USD pair + shipping. The seats are heated and the heating works with your original car system as well

It's cheaper but not half. I couldn't find him though. I'm thinking about full black seats

Did you ever pull the trigger on a set from him? I wonder if we pay any kind of customs fee, etc?

We need to see if a group of us can do this and perhaps drive the price down a bit and ensure a more seamless transaction.

No. I don't do eBay. Also kinda giving up the matching color idea. It's just too expensive

I'm in the process of doing red/black sportsters in my car, I've got heated seats but no airbags. I've mocked up the mechanics of the mounts and hardware using recaro sliders, ms adaptors and belt mounts and possibly a spacer to help center/raise the seat accordingly. The electronics will be the hard part. I want to Integrate the heater switch with the car switch, code out the seat airbags, switch the belt receptacle and short/code out the occupancy sensor.. I think the heater part might be the hardest but If anyone has any info on it that could help please pass it on.

I will probably go with black ones. With rear seats removed and roll cage, it's kinda cool.
