NSX-R Seats

[Lankstarr]

mmmm but red seats in a red car look sooo good!

My seats have been retrimmed in red alcantara (or something!) and have been fine as nobody else sits in them!

Black is the sensible choice, but IMO red will look better if you can keep them that way!

I agree that trying a cf wrap or getting NSX-R/S seat covers doesn't make financial sense when spending £800 on a pair of seats... it could cost double that to sort out!

Luke have you any pics of your seats? Would like to see how that looks. Yeah I agree the red would look good, but what kinda puts me off is, after seeing some DC2's/DC5's with the red seats they always tend to look a bit shabby with the wear getting in and out. But I suppose as I dont really drive my car too much the red probably would look ok.

Simply take a look at Detlef car pre the 02 conversion, this will show you what your car could look like - ( it even has the white rims you were considering)

Here's a thread with Ary's (old?) seats from Papa with red inserts:

I'll take some pics of mine in the morning when it's light - there were some on here somewhere that Matt posted but I can;t find them!

Here's a couple of pics of my interior:

You can see that the headrest was retrimmed to subtly include the NSX logo; I would have ensured the font was correct if doing it but it's a nice touch.

The sides of the seats are original, just the centres were retrimmed.

It looks a lot redder and less pink in reality!

I've got a reduced height seat cushion coming from Dali so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it and the colour... I may not need it at all if I can get some recaros fitted!

I like the DC5, ATR and CTR premier recaros - any idea how much they differ from the ones in this thread and whether they'll fit or be better seats?

Cheers,

Luke

Paul, have you any links to Detlef's car?

Luke, That looks well! I always like the Alcantara/Suede look.

mmmmm procar NSX-RR

[Yokohama_91]

Did you know that Recaro Seats sold in Japan are actually made in Japan and to a much higher standard that the German seat. So NSX Type R Recaros are made in Japan to Honda's specific spec.

The OEM Type R or S seat comes as a complete part, the covers are not individual parts and they are far too expensive for ordinary NSX owners like me.

The other fact about Japanese Recaros is that they are not wide fitting, so the only solution I had [although I live in Japan] was to contact Capital Seating and took a pair of German Pole Positions, retrimmed them in soft black leather with red stitch and small red Recaro logo and shipped them to me in Japan, I then had to get some Juran low level seat rails as SOS have stopped making theirs but they fit well and look fantastic, in fact they look exactly like Gan-san's seats in his red NSX

There is a picture of them in my virtual garage.
