Just curious how much people would pay for brand new Alcantara interior from the rs2.

THIS IS NOT A CLASSIFIED!!!

 

$0 dont like them at all.

 

how can you not like alcantara? that's professional racing seat material that keeps you in the seat.. comfy as hell.

i'd be willing to spend $1K for it.. but that's low-balling because i'm broke... even so.. i can't afford that much.

 

Professional Racing Seat Material? I'm sure in a "Professional Racing Seat" it will hold you in better, but with a full suspension and 245 R-Compounds, the material doesn't make a difference if it's still on a stock seat. AMHIK. Also, how about because the stock seats wrapped in that material look like crap?

I'll take the stock fabric over the RS2 seats anyday, at least they won't make you sweat like you're in a sauna. Plus, they're not such an eye-sore with not having any contrast across the entire seat, they look like you bought a "tYpE ARRR JDM y0!!1!1" seat cover from (insert crappy local automotive shop here)

BTW I'm speaking from experience from sitting in them in an RS2 at my dealership when I went in for the wind deflector applique recall. But I'm sure someone out there would like them, if you did a core exchange with the stock seats, I dunno, $250? if sold the entire seats seperate, I dunno $500?

If you like em, keep em. If you don't, replace them with real race seats that have something called "Lateral Support" and sell the stock ones to the highest bidder.

 

$0 There is no way I would swap out my RS1 seats. They look too pretty compared to the ugly RS2 seats. The RS1 seats hold me just fine on road courses.

 

good feedback people, lets keep them coming. and if you dont like the seats, give us a reason why. NOT JUST I DONT LIKE THEM AND YOU HAVE NEVER SAT IN THEM FOR MORE THAN A COUPLE HOURS.

also keep in mind that this is the same material used in the Sti WRX and Audi S line of vehicles. i have had mine for 3000K mi and i love them. they NEVER GET HOT. im not sure where that came from. suede doesnt get hot, genuine leather gets hot.

Please keep this post going. i value everyones feedback. thanks guys

 

I have an RS2 as well and I do agree that some contrast would have been nice. The black kind of makes the entire interior flat and the I don't like the side panels and arm rest not being seude as well. However the material is uterly amazing. I had never sat in a seude seat before I owned this car but the material does not get hot or cold and it makes the seats feel a lot softer. Just my 2 cents.

 

lol....

if your willing to be that stupid to spend 1k dollars on those "FAKE SUEDE" seats i have a bridge in london i can sell you.

and professional race seats on not made from "alcantara" if you knew anything about alcantara you would know its a synthetic bi product and is made to reproduce real suede. Its fake suede for cheapos.

if you wana spend 1k dollars on a real racing seat get a set of recaros, brides, vision techinicas or status's...

 

Fake suede for cheapos huh? i guess ill have to write a letter to Subaru and Audi and tell them that your stock tC seats are a much better choice then there alcantara and to start using them...

lol

 

The alcantara in my aunts bmw feels much nicer than the one in the tC.

 

no because subarus use recaro seats...and recaro uses REAL SUEDE.. not alcantara.. get your facts straight homie. and no were in my post did i mention stock tc seats are great or greater so i dont know were your coming from with that remark??

ppl please note.. ANY REAL RECARO designed after 94 uses REAL SUEDE not alcantara... and subarus use REAL SUEDE not alcantara on their recaros.... why do you think real recaros cost 650+ bucks and alcantara fakes cost less then 400.... c'mon ppl.. do your research!

 

thats because its not alcantara... IT SUEDE... theres a huge difference in the way they feel.

 

excerpt from a review for the STi:
"The interior features unique items such as front sport bucket seats; Alcantara leather upholstery with suede inserts; soft leather with red stitching on the steering wheel, shift ****, and parking brake handle; and a 9,000-rpm tachometer for those wound-out back country runs."

 

excerpt for a bmw 330i review:
Still more comfort awaits the driver inside, where the thick M-style steering wheel, all seats, and a cut-down, short-throw shifter are swaddled in Alcantara, just like in a racing car.

YAWNS what else you got? you know how I know that it was alcantara also, is because I went to buy the car wit her...

 

you know they also make alcantara style leather right? because real leather is to expensive to mass produce which is why they use a fake leather... and notice that is kept separate from "suede inserts" which is what recaro does.. the suede will never be fake alcantara..but leather will be because its to expensive and hard to work with in mass production!!!.

and if you knew what the difference between real suede and alcantara you can tell right away which one was fake or real by just brushing your fingers on it.!

yea bro anything else you wana quote on a website that clear states a diference of "alcantara leather and "suede" ....

 

you arguing that its all suede interior and i am telling you alcantara... and these car reviews where they list alcantara interior w/suede inserts. And in the beemer its alcantara from the seats to the steering wheel


you also said the recaro in the subaru are all suede when they said alcantara with suede inserts

 

YOUR GETTING RID OF YOUR SEATS!!!!

What you putting in?

 

im only talking about seats... not full interiors.. get that down first!

second...of course they are gona refrase it the way you copied it.. its so ppl like you who can comprehend a sentence can think to themselves "OH IM GETTING LEATHER AND SUEDE" when your really getting a fake leather and fake suede like alcantara in the tc's...THAT HOW THEY SELL CARS SMART ONE!

anyone with good knowledge knows REAL RECARO DESIGNED SEATS ARE REAL SUEDE not ALCANTARA.. and when ever you see alcanta THATS FAKE SUEDE..

so please re-read you quote from a website because you just proved me right.. recaros use real suede..in combination with a semi fake leather.. dam man.. read recacos site..sheeh!!

 

haha ok so now u just read what you wrote and realized how dumb you sounded and now you edited your post lol.. nice dude lol...

dam noobs

 

When I went to go buy the beemer with my aunt it specifically said alcantara SEATS, so what you are trying to say is they cheated us and gave us suede instead right
