well almost but i came across these over at club si. Knock off that look pretty good, i'd be interested in the quality though, not sure if i'd want to give up my quality stock seats. but they are only 119 bucks!!! Here is the link they are near the bottm of the pagehttp://www.airdynamicracing.com/shop/category.phtml?cat=seats http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/i=wMzAzMDY0NnM0MTNkZmQzMXk1NDE%3D.jpg

too bad they don't have cool little pull-out bmw-like cushion. but i guess that's what you get for a 10th of the price of the real thing, eh?

Recaro makes seats for all kinda of VEHICLES. Not just racing seats... They make seats for buses, cars, blah blah blah... Its not like it's race specific. *sigh*

Still, I wouldn't mind having a set of those rare red , blue , or black JDM goodies found in the DC5-R ;-)

Look in the phone book for a place that does embroidery. I know of two in my home town, chances are there is one in your area also.
