Don't do that....that's for ricers. For example, it's like me putting my mom's camry seats in my integra.

Other than the rotor shapes used throughout the interior and exterior of the RX8, yeah, there's nothing ricers about them (headrest hole).

Re: RX8 Cloth seats in my DB8

They look really nice and go well with the interior. Who the hell cares if it has a rotor shape in the head rest? 99% of the people that see it won't know what the hell it is.

Re: RX8 Cloth seats in my DB8

as stated above, most people don't even know what a rotor is. let alone figure out what that shape is. another reason to do it is they are comfortable seats.

The RX8 has many examples of this shape scattered across the interior and exterior. I rather like it, but only if a Wankel is under the hood.

Though, if the seats are comfortable for your body (and everyone fits in seats differently), DO IT!

Re: RX8 Cloth seats in my DB8

RX8's don't even have a Wankel rotary. They use a Renesis rotary engine.

OP just do it if you like it. You don't need H-T to hold your hand. Just be sure you don't ghetto-fab some mounts that would make the seat fly out of the car if it gets wrecked.
