I'm afraid they won't look good in a car with coral red leather. If they have them I wonder why it says 2-3 week delivery time?

The main reason I would get them is weight savings. I have no idea what those seats weigh but I'll bet they're ~100lb+ less than the factory power seats. I think they look damn good, other than the color not matching my car.

I also think they are pretty gorgeous, but the factory seats are about 55lbs each, so you are not going to be losing ~100lbs by putting those in your car. They do have the airbag mechanism, plus have manual adjustability, unlike normal aftermarket racing seats.
What I'd be most concerned with is if they make the rear seat less accessible than it already is. |

You loose the heated and memory seats functions also. I don't fancy grey or obsidian Alcantara either. To each their own but stock sport seats rock :headbang:! Don- |

The ony reason the rear seats are there to begin with are for insurance puposes. On average, a person's insurance would increase about 25%-30% in there were no rear seats. I will be taking mine out, especially when my roll bar is finished :smile: |

I have to disagree; My last car was a Boxster S and it was only $5 more year.

That would match my black interior perfectly however I am not willing to spend $5250 + $200 for it. I'm sure they're great seats but is about 1/8th the price of the car.

$1299 ea from HMS. They seem to be the same seat, minus the svelte "BMW Performance" stitching and the side airbag. It does recline and also tips forward for rear seat access, and I was sitting in one the other day... OMG it is butt paradise.
