Hey,
Here is my recaro spg story...
Well my car arrived from Japan with a recaro spg seat in VERY VERY bad shape, here are some photos on how it arrived:
Well I took the pillows to the laundry and they came back in perfect shape
I decided to buy the recaro replacement cover, and my internet search began... after searching for almost 1 month there was no luck, I found some seller, and the price for the replacement cover was 280 $ + shipping.
This is a beautiful seat but it was just way to much money, also I'm still waiting for the seller's email telling me when they'll have the cover available, so I decided to fix it my self...
I went to the "tool" shop and bought some cloth tape, I was able to find it in red, after a hour on cutting and putting the tape this was the final result:
The final result was not that good, but it looks way better than before, also keep in mind that with 280 $ you can buy another seat, for example a buddy club seat in good shape. This seat holds you well thats why I like it, specially at the track.
I'm planning on changing the seat in a near future..
