Direct fit with no modifications needed.

Installation was quick and easy.

Looks safe and comfortable.

































Decided to start with the rear seat and work my way forward

Any idea why? They are rated as a top safety pick by the IIHS.

I don't doubt it's safety, I guess it has to do with Recaro greasing or not greasing the right people.

That's the proper way to baptize you kid into the motorsports mentality!!! Good on ya!!

I thought for a moment that I was going to have to be jealous and get my GT a gift. But no...the days of cars seats are over for me.

Even if it would bolt right on, the controls would be sandwiched between the center console and the seat itself.
