Those seats are beautiful

I was actually looking at a pair of these that were being sold on another forum, but it seems like it's hard to find the leather versions that aren't disgustingly wrinkled. Yours look like they're in excellent condition!

Thx, yeah I got lucky that they are in good condition. The leather looks nice but it doesn't breathe well if you know what I mean. When I get hot, I stay hot! And the seat back angle reminded me of why I sold my first pole position years ago. We'll see how long I can handle these seats. My ideal seats are still bride Stradias or the equivalent Edirb seat that comes trimmed in leather. Pair of Edirb seats is $$$$$ though.

Don't worry, I'll keep bugging you until you finally break down and buy Edirb seats

That's my main complaint with leather, is that it doesn't breathe! You get out and you have major back sweat. What about Alcantera or suede? I know there are plenty of PP's out there that have that option for the inserts. Maybe before next summer you can switch it out and it can be more bearable? Just a thought Or maybe by next summer you'll have a pair of Edirbs...

Wow those seats are gorgeous. I wish Recaro used their small logo on the regular cloth pole positions.

JERSEY. FRICKIN. RED.

Jersey red all the things, even if it doesn't match.

Can confirm, Jersey Red is friendly to the sweaty back.

haha yeah i suppose i could switch the center pieces or get the centers reupholstered. I would rather have Edirbs though!!! UGH they are so nice.

yeah the Jersey Red's are insanely sexy. I'm jealous Andrew!!! But i can't complain because it would have been $2k for a pair of Jersey Red's or these leather PP's for free…hmm…
