Default Help me pick which recaros to put in the R...

Ok everyone. I had bought some MINTY MINT jdm red recaros for my old car. Now that I have a "real" r... i cannot decide if I want to put red recaros in my black car (and risk even more attention being drawn to it), or to go and buy these jdm black recaros I found. Only thing is the blacks are NOT as mint as my reds... here are some pix for reference


mine..


the ones im thinking of getting...


as you can see the primary wear is on this one's left side (in reference to the pic) down at the bottom

So opinions please.. black or red?!

I wouldn't worry about the seats as being a catalyst for theft--they'll steal the car, recaros or not

Buy whatever you'd like and lock that **** up!

If you're a small or thin guy, sell them and get the USDM SRD's. They're a much tighter fit. This is the route I went and I'm not looking back

Just an idea.

Reds will be frrrrresh. Do it. You've already got them and they are minty fresh. If you sell those and buy a set of lesser condition blacks, you won't be as happy. Do what you can to protect your R, but don't let thieves decide what parts you put on the car.

Red is a nice color for those. Though I'd just use those for show. If you were to go with black, I'd suggest a different Recaro model...the SPG.

Careful with the red though, it might draw too much attention.
