Damn those are nice!

Cheers for the list, Nitin.

I still haven't decided whether to go for Type S, Recaro, 5th Gen Prelude leather or get mine professionally upholstered but this is a useful list for keeping an eye out for cheap Recaros. Ta.

On that subject, is it possible to fit the heated seat mats to non-prelude seats? Anyone done it? A nightmare?

If you are using your car as a daily then I would say go for the Type-S.. They are really comfy plus they are uber rare oem goodness. Ratty and Cebul are both selling theirs. Plus with OEM seats, they will fit straight in without any mods or headaches.

ATR Recaro's are good but they don't recline back so that's lame if you want to get people in the back or need to get something.

I am saving up for those Recaro Pole positions, they are expensive but I love them plus with a new daily car coming next month I can use my car as a 'RaceCar' lol.

You can heat non-heated seats but not sure. Ratty is doing the conversion so ask me..

Nice list Nitin, but there are so many different styles and models - find that list and it's reppage points FTW!

For example, A mondeo has Recaros, but I wouldn't let them touch the interior of a lude.

I've got a couple of the SR3 models though - Evo 4, and Supra ones. And some custom jobbies.

Those buckets you posted are awesome, look like SPG's. Looks like a retrim to me though. I'd love a set of the red cloth SPG's you get in the NSX Type R.

Cheers Nitin.

I've been in touch with Ratty and Cebul but unfortunately I blew the budget on the car itself (And the Cam Belt in a couple of weeks) so it'll probably be a few weeks before the folding is available (Dammit!). I definitely need occasional access to the back so given your comments and taken with the heating and the potential for hassle I'm really leaning towards the Type-S. In fact I think I am decided.

Those Recaro's will look awesome when you get them though!
