It's really up to you, but I wouldn't put the red stitched type r's in a teal car. Just too many colors goin on!

Type R seats can go for much more. IMO they are way more confortable. I would do it...

I've seen a teal/green (Minori ?) hatch with type R seats, rear as well, looked dope as hell!

yea im getting the front and rear seats they are in mint condition. the only reason i want them is because 2000 gsr seats have these height adjusters built into them and it makes the seat sit up real high even at their lowest setting but the type r seats sit a lot lower cuz they dont have that crap.

I would trade. The GSR seats are nice, but I think the leather makes you slide around too much. You should stay more planted with ITR seats. Plus, should you ever need to get rid of them for money, you will get more with the ITR.

I've owned both and I like the Type r seats way more than the leather. The suede feels good as hell it is very comfortable.

Yeap, couldn't have said it better myself.

If you're worried about height get a phonebook!

My boy has a teal hatch with itr interior and it looks dope. Of course he has kicker solo-barics which have a red trim around the sub so the red stitch has something to coordinate with. I say go for it!

DO IT.

The material on the ITR seats aren't as slippery as leather and they are more attractive imo.

Trade straight up for the R seats, sell em to a JDM ricer who thinks they're super special and use the incredible profit you make to buy some Corbeaus that match your Aztec Green car.

Wow, that was a mindbender

BLACK leather = BLACK ITR tweed with red stitching.
either way, you're gonna have black seats in your ride. might as well go with ITRs.
