i finally had a chance to get my seats installed recently because i was waiting on my brackets to be shipped to my door. These are the cuga model in red with Graduation. The seats are very comfortable and has a strong hold on you.

 

love them, except the color. did you ever sell your stock seats?

 

Looks sick man.

 

wow, sexy! would love a black set in my 8

 

they look better in person.

 

Looks like you have some interior color work to do. Just a few red accents might be enough.

 

any ideas?

 

hmmm. Other than the shift ****/boot (everyone seems to like that), interior accents seem to differ greatly person to person. Some people paint their A/C vents, or just the trim around the A/C vents, plastic surrounding door handle/lock, replace/cover the center console lid, etc.

I'm thinking maybe a red shift **** with a black boot with red stitching. Then Black floormats with red trim. Then maybe just the A/C trim rings.

I think the idea is to lightly splash a little red on each part of the interior. A dash on the dash, a bit on the doors and maybe something small in the rear seat area. Just a little something to tie everything together. Maybe the rear center compartment cover?

 

well my shift is the JDM light one, i was thinking about having the door panels covered in the bride fabric. but i wasn't sure about doing red or black fab.

 

Do you have the airbag light on when you replaced your seats?

 

bad *** man. Ever make it out to any of the meets? i'd like to see your car in person

 

Nice seats. How much for each?

 

Those seats look great, not sure why people dislike the color.
I would look on eBay or call up salvage yards and try to find the OEM panels in black/red. Probably be would be a lot cheaper than trying to get it fabricated with the same material.

 

i dislike the color because imo the color red only looks good on some women and ferraris

 

I don't dislike the color. Just needs to blend in more.

 

yes i do. i do not have a bypass for it.

batangisip89: i'm rolling around town my friend, normally around downtown where i live. PM me if you want to see them in person.

monchie: thanks man. 1500 per..

LifeAfterRx8: pics do not do it justice... it looks amazing in person. but i have a guy who does upholstery and owes me a favor...

200.mph: i'll take some better pics for you, hopefully it would change your mind on the color idea..

firebirdude: working on it.

 

no dude, i mean no disrespect but i just hate the color red. love the seats tho. i know most people like red, its just not the color for me

 

its all good man.

 

looks sick, saw a very similar setup in an e46 that i loved, maybe add the red/black rx8 rear seats.

 

thanks man! i think the red and black seats would be too much red for me. i may just install some bride fabric inserts on the side and call it a day. i wanna keep it miminal
