Just got the back of the seats back from the painter this morning and put them all back together. I just can't wait for the brackets to come in for the one seat (you can see one is sitting higher than the other!!!)

Just thought i would let you guys see the new seats going in. Got these on a killer deal from a side job, ive been told there are about only 400 of these seats ever made...guess that kinda makes them rare!

Those look SICK! :eek:

Very, very nice. I assume they are leather and not vinyl correct?

If you don't mind my asking, how much did you get them for and how much do they regularly run?

i did a side job for a friend and he had these sitting in his garage from a prior car. They were a little banged up, but i gave them some TLC and now they are just as good as new! As for the actual price, i have seen people sell these seats from Europe for about $2500-$3000 and they are used. There were only 400 of these seats ever made in the world so they are hard to get ahold of. I have seen people sell these same type of seats completly redone and refurbished the way they should be and sell them for around $3500-$4000!

very niiiice, i hope your car is silver...

nice....

DAYMN ! those are the nicest seat i've ever seen ! props to you man!

Perfect...:)

very nice

those are very nice seats- very nice- my only concern would be the stitching on the back. but then again- most buckets generally do not have a long life if used as a daily driver(hence why i need new buckets already).......
+1 for nice recaros.

looks great, good job with the painting.
You need the reclaining knobs, it seems they're not attached / missing.

Let me know you're address I will send you some in an envelope (just to make the seats 100% perfect).

The new A8 (successor) will be available very soon. We show the new seat first time at the IAA in Frankfurt but the A8 you have is THE SEAT.

If you want to have something really special, the SPX (STI OEM seat in Japan) is also available in the US very soon.
Down side - really theight (it's designed for the Japan market)

Costs: $5000 per seat shipped to your place
why so expensive?
Ultra light wheight / Ultra low seat position
Super stiff seat structure like a pro racing seat
Leather in OEM color
Plug'n Play with adapters with belt buckle etc.
Limited to 50 sets!

OMG I LOVE THOSE SEATS!

Very nice dude

if i didnt have a ring on my left hand id hump the sh*# out of them.. those are damn sexy, great job!!

those look great. what car did they originally come out of?

The A8 was a pure aftermarket seat without an OEM background.

The SPX is the S203 OEM seat in Japan which we make available (limited) in the USA.

Also a new edition is the SPORT PP1 and PP2.

nice seats!!!!

perfect match for your car Kontradictions. +1

Nice I just saw your car in HCI, actually bought it just for your cars feature. I also remember when you first posted the two-tone in another forum here on I-club. A couple guys bashed the two-tone and your wheels, but I think the car looks beautiful!

Damn nice car. Seat compliment it perfectly. Need to see more of it. Got anymore pics?

Almost hate to ask what this side job was.....I know to get a deal like that out of my friends would require a "hit" on someone.....

progress coilovers, progress front and rear sway bars, STi strut bar, cusco 4-point under link and cusco trailing arms.

i just saw your car on the cover of HCI, they have nice pics of those seats in your car! great job man, i wish i could score a pair of those seats =\

i saw your car at the scs meet. are you going to show at nisei kontra?

Hey, something I don't understand... You said that the seats weren't in the car yet, and that you just got them back etc. How were they in the car for the HCI magaizine shoot that was most likely months ago, but you just got them back? Am I missing something? I don't get it, is this thread old? Well, like I said earlier, beautiful car, looks great.
