Everything. You don't just change the seat to go with the interior only, it has to go with the whole car. Go with the black/gray.

I do agree that red would look good in a silver car but IMO is getting old and it attracts too much attention.

 

of course. But you will need the specific 350z rails.

 

Well I just bought the Recaro Sportster CS in full leather. (love the back!!, and the cool swing forward release switch that's subtely put into the seat belt holes)

I was in dialogue with a Bride dealer at the same time, but I got the Recaro's because of how hot they look. After I bought them I todl the BRIDE dealer, and he told me that the Recaro's fit like ****. The Bases don't fit well at all accoring to him. He sells Recaro's but he won't selll the base because of the trouble he had with it.

I'm still gonna go ahead with the Recaro's becuase of the looks, and just hope I can figure out a way for it to work, or maybe they've fixed the issue... wishful thinking, i know!

RECARO SPORTSTER CS:

 

Also, I think what I like abotu these seats is that they don't over do the 'race' theme. My car doesn't look liek a race car. So I kinda like the balance between comfort and race.

If I was building a race car, BRIDES all the way!

 

Well, as everything, you need to consider what type of seats you are comparing to.

The high-end Sparco's use premium materials along with world class R&D that IMHO, are top of the line. As with everything else, just need to compare at matching levels & be ready to foot the bill.

 

Wow. those Sparco's are sweet! Very nice.

 

whitebwoy, congrats on the seats....those are very nice! If the recaro rails don't work well, it's probably the alignment to the stock holes... I'm guessing.. The bride rails fit perfect though.

 

Anybody know a good vendor to get recaro seats from for a good price ?

 

Those Recaros are sick.... Like others have said though.. I hope they fit...

 

The way they look, if they don't fit... I'm bringing out the ****in impact drill to make some changes on my Z. Lol!


I love them, I can't wait to see them in person.

 

Good luck man, please keep us posted.

 

i pm'd kwame@Z1 yesterday, and still havent heard anything back yet. but i would start w/ them.

 

I've had Bride before. If I had to do it again i'd go with Recaro.. For some reason it seems Recaro sells the better quality seat.

 

Turns out the only recaro seat i would even consider is the black leather/suede one, but that'll run about 1200 per seat, a bit more than i want to spend. I think i'm going to go with sparco milano 2 seats. The quality is outstanding and the look is exactly what i want, and the price is 900 apiece. I have one more day to decide. If somebody has something against sparco seats, speak up.

 

It was someone at Z1 that had told me the bad experiences with Recaro bases.

 

have you considered status seats? I dont have anything against sparco, I just see them all the time.

 

really? whats bad about them? theyre chit or they just dont fit?

 

btw, i think this is kwames car. these are badass.

 

Honestly buddy, I haven't the slightest clue. He said the 'bases', (not too sure which part that is exactly) have HORRIBLE fitment. To the extent that he will sell the seats, but not the bases. He usually sells BRIDE bases for the Recaro's. BUT apparently the BRIDE bases that work with RECARO take forever to come. I guess cause it's an order from Japan.

Here is the quote from the guy:

 

lol. thanks for the info. how awesome though!
