What seats do you have, what custom work did you have done and what was the ballpark cost? I have heard about your setup but have not had a chance to see your car live.

i have the eletric recao sport seats which were rewrapped to match the factory leather. the seats are rather costly and even with my sponsorship. I believe retail for the seats is somewhere in the ballpark of 2200 per seat. the only problem is that you need to have custom seat brackets made inorder to mount the seats.

Do you know which model of recaro? There are several that look like they might be a good fit and nearly all upper models come in electric vs non-electric. Thanks.

the seats i have now most closely resemble the "topline" seats, however when i purchased mine, they did not have different variations of the sport seat.

they're just a speed shop but they might know a place that does it, the # is 916-648-8000. conversion technique in oakland has a better deal on recaro seats that's where i got mine, they have the actual seats to try out and seat.

Funny I just came back from Conversion Tech today. You can basically sit in every model of Recaro available there. They can also get Sparco and BBS.

This shop doesn't do much retail since they make their money as a distributor and race car prep service.

They will sell to the public though.

PM me and I wil try to get a special deal on any of the above brands. I've known the owner (John) for over 15 years.

YEp, this is the place that will be getting my business. My connection is another longtime buddy of RMMGS4. Man, all these car toys add up fast.

They are off of 880 at the 98th Ave. Airport exit

9845 Bigge St., Oakland

http://ct-motorsport.com/

Like I said, they don't really have a store front, since they are not retail focused. There is a show room with the seats and BBS wheels. Just ask someone where it is. They distribute Recaro, BBS, etc. to NorCal stores, so wherever you buy these products, it will likely have come from this location. Might as well go to the source.

PM me to if you want deals on their goods.
