**WRCwannabe** · 11-07-2009, 02:24 AM

id love tohave the rs interior but its just too exspensive.
Evo 9 MR recaros are exactly what i want in my car but cant find any for sale

here ar esome of the seats im thinking about getting.
but i really want to cut weight down but also keep adjustable seats.

these are my fav, they remind me of STi seats. (ver.8)

**WRCwannabe** · 11-07-2009, 02:39 AM

found a guy selling evo 9 recaros (pictured above)
for the 2 fronts he want 1600+shipping

sooo tempted.
hopefully i can work out a deal with him.

**spudo** · 11-08-2009, 07:36 AM

Shipping boxes that big will not be cheep $ 300.00 or more is my guess???

**blackbird** · 11-08-2009, 08:13 AM

Go Greyhound, for shipping that is. They have no problem shipping seats and it's a lot less expensive than FedEx or UPS. If he can wrap them up good and you don't need them super fast or by an exact date it's one of the best options for shipping large, bulky items that don't weigh a ton.

i pickked up some ST170's rear fog lights or whatever for the rear bumper today and put them in.
the white and red one is on the left.
and the solid red one is on the right
wrong sides but it doesnt matter cause i love them haha.

then i have like 1/4' of gap between the top of the light and the bumper.
on both sides.
they slid right in and snapped into place but thats the only thing i see wrong with them.
pics coming in a bit

**spudo** · 11-08-2009, 08:23 PM

Right and left side depends on right or left drive.

I went white and red both sides

**WRCwannabe** · 11-08-2009, 09:40 PM

how much did you pay for those?

here is a pic of mine

and here is the gap.

are the RS rear ones a bit different shape or something?

**WRCwannabe** · 11-08-2009, 09:41 PM

and no its not orange its red but the flash made the light reflect and look orange

**CaysE** · 11-08-2009, 10:09 PM

The RS ones are the same. I went with white on both sides for reverse lights, too. I also have a pair of tinted whites... I'm just not sure if I want to use them.

**WRCwannabe** · 11-08-2009, 10:22 PM

damnit im an outcast...
haha

**WRCwannabe** · 11-09-2009, 10:23 PM

**WRCwannabe** · 11-10-2009, 01:26 PM

**lapse138** · 11-10-2009, 03:51 PM

I just whored these Nardo Black gems! I'll sell the EAP-a-like if anybody is interested. They are not dirty, but they do have dust on them from sitting in storage for awhile.

**NZWINRZ** · 11-11-2009, 08:35 AM

Did you buy two that dont match or you have the ones that do, a little cleaning and they'll look good, well the top one will!

**NZWINRZ** · 11-11-2009, 08:38 AM

Hay wrc, You got all your stuff and car on Craigslist, what up, you giving up on this endeavor

Top is being sold to my friend with a EAP SVT. I bought these from different sellers, but the seat bottoms are identical as is the fabric. Both are driver seats too.

**WRCwannabe** · 11-11-2009, 12:10 PM

hey nzwinrz, no i put that up a few weeks ago when i was going to try and get the sti but that fell through

**thielt1** · 11-11-2009, 03:41 PM

Here are the seats Bride gias low Max (some of the most aggressive reclinables I have seen)

If you are planning on putting a seat in that looks like the evo seat you could go with the recaro speed

Or you can go with the new 2009 RS seat the Recaro (sportster cs)

**REVSWIN** · 11-11-2009, 05:59 PM

Would anybody agree that this car looks to have RS rear quarters with standard front? If so it really changes the shape of the car.

**Gami** · 11-11-2009, 06:14 PM

I want that hood

**CaysE** · 11-11-2009, 07:49 PM

Those fronts are definitely flared, they just don't appear to be standard RS fenders.
