Unhappy A Bid Farewell to my seats

2 days ago a guy here in Denver came and picked up my mint condition heated leather seats to take home and put into his 95 SC300. I hope he enjoys them. I almost cried as he was driving away
BTW, yes these are the original seats from my car, yes that is the original leather from 1993 but no those are not the original lower seat trims, I yanked them off of a 98 SC300 at the junk yard.










Then today, a picture of my new seats was emailed to me

They're being shipped from Dallas, TX and will arrive here in Denver, CO next Wednesday.

I was told that the car they came out of only had 18k miles on it, that the seats are in pristine condition and that the leather is still soft. OMG I cant wait!!!

Damn, I take it those heated seats are rare? I like how thin they are for the back rest.
Second set almost looks like rsx type S seats


Any idea where I might be able to get my hands on a black interior for my car?

SC400/SC300 seats in that condition are extremely rare whether they're heated or not.

Oh ya, and to give you guys an idea of what my interior is going to look like......

This except, black RSX seats instead of tan Recaros, tan carpet with black floor mats instead of black carpet and mats and brushed aluminum wood trim instead of black wood trim.

As soon as i have my new seats in my possession, I will have all the parts needed to do the swap (except for a black hazard button/switch )

Thanks ScottURnot for the inspiration

Very nice! The rsx seats look like they will give you that little extra hug that those beautiful heated Lexus seats couldn't.

had rsx seats in my previous sc, the only issue is less leg room for the ppl in the back, the seats sit a little higher so rear view is smaller by little

other than that they are nice

take care of the leather, honda leather does not last as long as lexus leather does,

yeah I don't like how the rsx seats are too tall. I don't like sit with the seat tilted back, I think i'm going wait until I can score some different seats.
