Japan version 40th AE seats!?

Everything I see that I want for my car is hard or impossible to find

Came across the Black leather/Stone Alacantara seats exclusive to Japan's 40th Anniversary editon. SO SESSY! Damn them!



So does anyone on here have these or ever seen them available?? I'd die for them! Been looking through Japanese/UK forums all day haha.

I still like the cosmo red interior better.

I feel the US version came came with the best interior of them all.

But of course I'm biased

And I imagine it would cost so much to get those seats that at the end it would not be worth the effort

cheaper to re upholster your current seats.

Yeah they look nice, have you ever owned white seats before though? You cant wear jeans in them because they stain, almost everything stains them and it becomes the biggest pain in the ***.

More than likely you wont find these seats as only 200 in japan were made and i believe another 200 or 400 were made for the uk. i personally like my 40th ae seats the best out of all of them.

i like the white and black as a color too, not to sit in though, i wear jeans daily and those seats would look like complete **** in a matter of no time If the black what in the middle then id like these seats, oh well.

case still stands that its cheaper to re upholster your seats then to source them and ship to the US.

Yeah, I'm sure it would be cheaper that way... Just wishful thinking lol. I'll look into upholstering eventually.

I wear all kinds of different bottoms and wouldn't mind the upkeep personally.. I can see the daily jeans being a prob though. :/ Thanks for the input!
