Picked up some REALLY nice Recaro racing seats for my SVT from a member on the forum here (thanks Karl!). I had a slight hole in my stock blue/black seats... i'm told the seat pan bracket breaks, and the rough end of the broken bar rubs a hole through the seat... and mine sure did that. I picked up NEW seats ASAP and will hopefully look at seeing if the stock seats can be repaired, patched, etc. The new seats are VERY comfortable and I very much enjoy driving in them... it gives the interior a whole new look, which is what I was looking for at this time.
on to the pics
Before:
the seats, dusty and dirty prior to install:
and, finally cleaned up and installed:
and granted I do now have blue and black door inserts and blue and black rear seats, which makes it a bit off, but it still looks pretty dang good in my opinion... and everyone who sits in the seats finds them extremely comfortable. I'm really happy with them.
Damn, that brings back some memories. Makes me miss mine.
