While browsing another forum, a discussion came up about restoring Recaro seats. A member posted up a site for a company in the UK that sells parts for Recaro seats, and what do you know...they have harness slots in black plastic.....and they look like they could work. Anyone try it? Has to be better/ cheaper than the price brawls over ACR seats.
XTREMEBOOST OF ORLANDO FLORIDA FUCKED MY TRANSMISSION. THEY SWAPPED OUT A CLUTCH AND PUT NO TRANNY FLUID BACK IN. but i can't prove it, so i guess that means i'm lying. STAY AWAY FROM THIS FORMER VENDOR. THEIR TURBO KITS ARE TERRIBLE AND THEIR INSTALLS ARE EVEN WORSE. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!
hey, i thought I'd share as not everyone has the deep pockets for the factory stuff, and not everyone is comfortable with epoxy's around upholstery (CBD replica's)
The Evo8 one's look like they will work. They also snap in place unlike my CBD ones. For that low of a price, you could buy one and make sure it is deep enough to go through the seat. Then you can follow gdflys how-to for installation. Should work fine!
to make exact copies of the vipers would require injection molding..and ofcourse the tooling.....
they did the best the could with what they had. compromises were made in an effort to deliver a product that was cost effective
I hear you. That's why I rushed out and bought a set when they came out. I'm happy with my CBD slots because they look authenic (like a viper) and I'm able to pass my harnesses through when I go to the track.
It will be interesting to see how these slots fit. I think it would be worth your time to do the mod...especially if you will be using harnesses.
If you decide to do it, please let me know how it turns out. I also have the link to gdflys original how-to that has been removed. Let me know if you need it.

Yeah, thanks for that. I might just have to give this a shot. What would you say the project is on a 1-5 scale rated on how hard it is. cause if i go and Fuke up my seats I know i know it will only be my fault but im going to be not very happy to say the least
