So, no one guessed it...oh well!

They are ASM Edition Recaro SR III Limited. Black Alcantera with grey center and red stitching. To make it all tie in well, I had the shift **** recovered, new shift boot made, ebrake done, and had the arm rests on the door all done in black alcantera with red stitch. I also had the McIntosh sub bass controller installed in place of the factory power mirror switch. Since I have the Craftsquares, the stock switch was useless anyway

I've been lusting after these seats for awhile now and the stars aligned and a set became available so I jumped on it. For those who don't know, ASM is a division of Autobacs in Japan, and is a boutique type store that is the largest Recaro dealer in Japan. They have literally hundreds of seats in stock at any one time. They sell so many, that they comission Recaro to build special ASM Edition seats for them. These all have special stitching and fabric and use memory foam for the cushioning vs the traditional spring and strap setup. The seats are really comfortable, and a bit bigger than my previous Brides, which is good for us US spec drivers. We're also now a dealer for ASM products, and they have some really cool stuff. Check the interior section of our site for pricing and pics, and also the exterior section for their new bumper/diffuser and hoods!




sorry for the crappy pics, I snapped em quickly inside

here is one from their site



let me know what you think! I'll have nicer pics posted later in the week if the weather is nice.

thanks guys - I have to try to figure out how to take some nice interior pics. If anyone has any pointers, I'm all for them. I'm finding its not an easy thing to do properly since you have so many different materials that reflect light in different ways. These were just quick point and shoot at low rest with my camera. I've got a tripod I can use, and despite it being a point and shoot, its got a million different modes and settings I can play with. So any photographer guru's out there, if you have any points, share em!

Sound wise, I'll say it again...it is staggering how nice this sounds now! I'm actually going to start a new thread right now with some of the best sounding stuff I've played on it so far, and hopefully we can share some ideas of really well recorded/produced music to really help show our systems off.
