Default Recaro LXF - Yay or nay?

I've been liking these seats for a while now. They're simple, plain, and basic. They look like something that might be factory. They've got a kinda generic shape to them and look nice in black. Does anyone have these installed in an f-body? Are they comfy?



I think some custom stitching would look good on 'em too. Like a PONTIAC logo instead of RECARO.

They do look somewhat factory you've got that part right. My girlfriend's Ion Redline came factory with recaro racing seats. But to be honest I don't like those seats you have shown at all. Especially the color.

They look like mid to late 90's styling. I don't like these particular seats.

If you are gonna get a Recaro seat try and find some SRDs, some of the best looking and comfortable seats ever. Those don't look bad, if they were black I'd like 'em more I think.

would look good in a 3rd gen. Doesn't match 4th gen style IMO.

Another nice comment...

In any case, Sparco seats are very good, as are Recaros. Ricers could use anything, I've seen them use Bride seats which are some of the best, doesn't mean I wouldn't use it.
