does this mean red/black oem seats forsale soon? lol
Not a chance I love the oem seats, but I needed low max seats cause I can't fit in the car with the top up and my helmet on...I'm a lanky bastard.

I got 2 because I hate the look of 1 oem seat and 1 bucket seat. My passenger gets to sit low too
a great excuse not having to give a ride to a fattie as well.

So I ended up selling the seats. As much as I loved how they felt once I was in them, GETTING in and out of them was the issue. With the hard top on and these seats, I looked like I was having a slow controlled seizure of sorts getting in and out. They just aren't designed for tall/bigger guys. Being 6'1" 200lbs, and the tall side bolster of the Gias didn't work well. I do miss sitting low already though

Anyway, I hope to get some new pics up soon. The car will be getting a full wet sand/polish very soon and the whole process will be photographed!

Looks real classy, but I think it would look much much better with a color matched HT since that grigio silver is so nice. Black kind of disturbs the flow. But what do I know, it's ur car. Looks real nice anyhow.

Very clean! Looks amazing, hoping to do something similar with my03 i just picked up about a month ago. I love the clean oemish look.

so you mentioned that you even went the distance to replace the labels underneath the hood and the door jambs. where and how did you get a hold of these? it seems as though all of the oem parts websites don't have these available. please let me know! thanks! your car looks amazing btw
