I did a search and found nothing. I am curious to know if the CTR Recaro seats come in any colors other than red. Do they or something similar come in black?

The DC5R seats came in Red and Blue
The CTR i'm alittle confused. Some years they came in our USDM black with a Type R logo. There was a 30th Anniversary that is similar to the DC5R red.
The AccordR came in Black.

Maybe I specified the wrong model with my question. I see everybody with the red Recaro's. I had seen them refered to as CTR seats. I would love something like those red seats, but in the USDM black color. I could do without the Type R logo, but I could deal with it. Where could I find those black recaro seats and do they bolt right up?

Option #4 in a black to match the rest of the car. Just curious if something like that exists.

yes. The seat is called Recaro Sportline.

To make it work I'm using DC5R rails with Mugen brackets.

I'm going to go with the ITR blue recaros. They don't say type-r just recaro. I'm going to try to get them from the UK.

Dont mean to thread jack but while on the subject where do you purchase the rails with & brackets?

rails you can get on ebay or a parts importer.
If you purchase the Recaro CTR or ITR seats... they should come with them anyway.

The more I look at these, the more I want them. The issue I keep coming back to is my size. I am 6'3", 250-lbs. About a 38-40 waist. I am trying to lose weight (30 pounds in the last year), but even still I am a big dude. Will the Recaro Sportline (JDM DC5, EDM Accord, Anniversary JDM CTR, etc) seats fit me comfortably? Or will they be too small to jam my big ass into? If they are too small, any recommendations for something similar? I am looking for something with more support (especially for the shoulders) and something I can mount lower. FInally (and I know this is probably blasphemy), but anybody now of replicas for these seats. They are going into a DD and I just don't want to spend 2K+ on a seat of seats that will see daily wear and tear. Thanks in advance.

He didn't want an answer, he just wanted a post. His question was answered earlier in the thread.

Not mad at you, just venting.

I have been looking at Recaro and Bride. They have wider sizes available for drivers with larger frames. This is of course authentic though. I am not certain if they are available in the replicas. You should ask the Witz vendor here on the site. He should have an answer for you.

Thanks man. I have talked to Witz about replicas, but not the larger frame question. It was more related to replica Recaro Sportlines. I will pose my large frame question to him though. Thanks.
