*JDM RECARO SEAT RESTORATION* UPDATE 12/19/07
UPDATE on page 2:
UPDATE on page 3:
UPDATE on page 5:
so recently i aquired a set of nice old school jdm recaro srd's in red for 200 bucks... the seats were in bad shape but the price was good for the seats that had minty fresh boulster pads and cushoning... it seems thats the seats were NEVER sat in and only one of the boulster paddings broke due to lack of fabric and probably impropper seat exit/entry. other then that the seats only need re-wrapping due to the previous sellers dog who decided it was cute to chew on the seat (moron he was for letting the dog do that)
anyways.. he are the pics i took... they show all the damage to both seats... im very nostalgic when it comes to old school seats so i really couldnt pass up this awesome deal + these being NOT suede havent fadeed or aquired wrinkles in the fabric from the 8+ years these seats have since i looked up the SRD serial number and found out they were produced A LONGGGG TIME AGO. Enjoy this tragedy to a nice comfy ___ seat i already farted in and welcomed into my home.
atleast the backs are super clean
TLC will be begin next week hopefully
- ill be either doing an all black with white recaro logo and red stitching or all blue with recaro in white or all red with recaro logo in white (keeping it somewhat original) but havent decided yet what to do...i tossed a poll to hear suggestions..pls no suggestions on other color combos or options..im not into 2 tones or other colors.

this weekend ill be getting quotes on everything i need the 3 color combos...
i love red but down here in miami... cars with red seats tend to get stolen lol..plus everyone and their mom has red seats in a white car.. it looks fresh but also played out.. im leaning towards blue since they match my rims and i love the looks.. its diferent and new and not used alot.. the black how ever is very subtle..less attention getting of all 3 combos.. and the look of black with red stitching is just super sexy.. gives it a nice detail.... ill post up pics of all the combos and also in cars.. (white if i can)....

i meant recaro parts... I cant help ya out with sliders. If you needed covers or something I could give u my contact at recaro and you could hit them up for assistance.
as far as brackets go... I just used corbeau ones and drilled extra holes so the recaro would mount. Wedge has em too but they will want like 200.
