Recaro Seats Are IN!
Finally the Recaro Seats are in the car after waiting a month. It was not easy installing them. I used 98-02 accords brackets which need to be modified and some extra hardware which was custom made to mount them properly. Went for a test drive taking hard turn, they definitly hold you in better than the stock seats.
What does everyone think of them? I know this is a mid luxury car, but i wanted something to hold me in.

That looks great. I'm considering getting Recaros for my TSX. Unfortunately I got the tan interior which will be difficult to match.
With respect to brackets, do you just have to experiment on your own until you find the right fit?

wow! that looks fantastic! hats off to you man!
about how long did it take to do everything? the only thing i would miss is the heated seats, although maybe you could put pads into the recaros (i honestly have never seen one in person so i wouldn't know).
those seats look real classy, which keeps the theme of the car in my opinion. how much weight would you say you dropped from the original seats? my guess would be 50-80 pounds total.
congrats on a well done mod!

for over 2 grand i woulda got something besides seats, they do look nice but the type S seats hold me in place way better than the seats on my 00TL seats, plus i like a warm butt in the winter. Nice look it gave you though
you shouldn't have said anything.

Looks good man.. I got Sparco's on mine. I opted non-leather since its too freaking hot in TX. I wanted cloth. The sparco brackets for 98-02 Accord coupe worked perfectly, did not have to modify anything at all.

Definetly a nice job man... I'm really feeling it looks flushed in well with the regular black leather too. I would go for some carbon fiber (only looks good with black leather IMO) trim next to fill out the sportyness.
