I dunno if I'm feeling the racing seats in the CL. They kinda seem out of place IMO. Get your hands on some RSX seats FTW

I don't think having racing seats in the CL looks werid. I have Recaros in mine and they look fine.

For more information, do a search because this has been talked about many times already.

I was debating taking the seats out of my bro's old 7th gen Celica GT-S (almost identical to RSX- Type-S seats, w/ side airbag... that wouldnt work) back when it got totaled....... but decided that would be way too much work........... aftermarket seats would be easier, buy the prefab brackets, and the seat, oout with the old, in with the new..... I would get new racing seats, but with the CL acting up and me maybe geting another car, it all seems pointless

my seats are gray, along with all my interior, so it never gets to hot or cold. its literally in between white and black. and if you dont drive a beater, leather seats are better, look a lot better, and if you have a clue what youre doing, they hold up a lot better. my seats are in perfect condition, they all look new.

my leather looks all fine from the outside and all, it looks great, the vynyl part is all torn from the last owner, but its only noticable when the door is open.... cloth is all good and fun, but id prefer leather all the time because it handles spills ALOT better than cloth and anything of that sort
