Default i put RX8 seats in SC300

So i had these seats lying around and decided to put them into my boring interior.

The rest of the interior is gay and will be fixed up when i have time, but for now here are some pics









oh and i also put on a Seibon Carbon Fiber hood. The stupid washer nozzles dont fit into the hood so i will have to do some trimming.



The hood is open in pic, it actually fits perfectly when closed.

If only it didn't have the little rotary thing on the seat. But i bet you saved a ton of weight, those stockers are HEAVY.

Nice looking seats man! I used to Rock the rx8 shift **** in my Mkiii supra it was rotary shape I remember it was nice, heavy and cool and counterweight one too
Paint that silver rotary thing on the seat black or do carbon fiber fabric on it, if you can to welcome them to a new home

ok so last night i only had chance to do one seat. Ill take pics of what i did to the driver side seat for you guys who are curious.

Its pretty simple actually. Wait for write up later today.

These seats are nicer and maybe a little lighter. Its not a huge weight savings.

I will paint the rotary thing black, i dont like it sticking out like that!
