is $1900 a total rip off or a good price (used). Anyone know where to get these on the low

 

depends on color and condition. black jdm recaro's in good condition is a fair price for $1900. red ones for $1900 is kinda high. anywhere between $1300-$1500 for red jdm recaro's is good. yellow, now those are pricey IF you can find them

 

1900 + shipping? No shipping at all? Good condition?

 

yeah im looking for the red ones, why are the black more expensive?

 

more rare and personally i like how they look more than the reds

 

the blacks don't scream jack me, and they are rare, match interior perfectly, and I have some for sale. near mint in bay area.

 

bought mine for $1600, shipping included and no taxes, from here:

hey arno, how much can you get them for??? im interested either black w/ red stitch or red

 

check PM

 

Not to be a total ***, but $1900 for OEM 'sport' inspired seats is absurd, truely. I can't understand why these seats are a 'must have'; my $200 cobra monaco is head and shoulders more supportive, and FIA approved. Point is for $1900, if you plan to ever participate in any racing, time trials, get a tru bucket seat, not a 'sports' inspired oem seat.

 

I got some RED JDM recaros.$1,500. in superb condition .
I'm in cali,Pick up preffered since it would cost hella cash to ship these.

 

Its amazing what you guys pay for JDM seats, i paid under $700 for JDM ITR black recaros with rails/sliders, and that included shipping, but them again i am in europe(this was only 3 months ago) still havent got round to putting them in

Because:

A) I drive my car everyday. I want something that can recline.
B) Im ****. I want it to match perfectly to the rest of my interior. Then it looks "stock"
C) It will be covered by my insurance without a recipt because its OEM. Read your insurance contract. They dont have to cover your Cobra seat. They HAVE to cover my JDM seats becasue they are OEM. Same reason to get a OEM JDM front. It HAS to be covered as they are OEM parts.
D) I like them. They are functional and look REALLY good. As much as I like to race, I also like to look good. Not a crime last time I checked.

 

why pay $1500 for HID JDM headlights b/c they are OEM and JDM and phat as hell (plus Im a JDM *****)

 

Really?? I didn't know that... so if i installed a JDM 4-1 header, even though it's not AUS Spec they will still cover it? Nice..

 

i doubt that just because its 'OEM' that insurance companies will cover it.
they'll cover it if its OEM..AND came with the car.

but just because its OEM?...i doubt that. thats like saying an OEM ITR motor will be covered in a civic just because its OEM. oh, its definately OEM honda..but definately not what they appraised your car with..

 

Pointless argument. He likes wants to spend $1500+ on Recaros because they're rare, they look nice, they fit snug, and finally, the JDM bling factor. Hell, my same reasons!

JDM Recaros look so awesome in an Integra, 'nuff said.

 

plus i think they add like 15 whp LOL...What can I say I have a set too and wouldnt trade them for anything!

 

Again, I'm not being antagonistic, but this seat thing, I don't get.

So, okay

1. Your oem seats recline, correct? I daily drive my car w/ a bucket, non reclining seat, not saying you should, but that it can be been done.

2. The original seats match, as they came w/ the car, don't they?

3. I'm not an claims adjuster, so I do not know. However, if you have comprehensive coverage items that have a proof of purchase (receipt) ae covered by warranty; e.g. wheels, stereo, etc. this is an issue I've inquired about.

4. I found the oem seats, on the track, to be supportive (more so than any 'oem' seat I've been in), they do lack a bit in lateral support, but nothing terrible. Again, having also sat in jdm recaros, I cannot see where the 1900 advantage lies in these seats? No, looking 'good' surely isn't illegal, but is it worth spending 1900 on something you already have?

Again, your money your whims, but to me, I'd get actual RACE seats if I was looking for the most support and function out of my money. I'm not going to belabor the issue, but it just doesn't makes sense to me.

they are really nice, but they will be lost thing i will get.

 

Dont know about Australia. I live in the US.

 

Have you read your policy cover to cover? I have. It specifically states OEM parts. I can provide an OEM part number if need be. Doesnt matter that its not OEM here in this country. I can provide a Honda part number that will generate seats.

Do you have a part number for your engine? Proof its in there? Again I ask have you read your insurance policy? Im guessing no. Read it. It says it will replace ALL OEM parts on your car with OEM parts. Ive been over this before with my underwriter. I know how the policy is worded and how to get around it. Not to mention the seats are close in aproximate value weather USDM or JDM. They are both around 2Gs new.

 

Yes you are being antagonist but Ill answer your questions anyway.

Have you ever sat in USDM seats and then a JDM seats back to back? BIG difference my friend. VERY big differnece. I put my USDMs in a friends civic and after drving around in JDM Recaros and then going for a ride in his, I can honestly say that the USDM seats are sloppy when compared to the JDM ones. VERY sloppy.

See above. They dont support as well.

Wheels, and stereos are a very different story. Id liek to see them shell out however much money they value the car at, plus all the money for your mods. Wont be happening and we've seen people get hosed here before.

**** its my money and Ill spend it where I want to thank you. And the JDM seats are FAR more supportive than the USDM seats. Unless I got a bad lot of USDM seats in 2000, but my USDM seats sucked and Im a big dude @ 6ft 2, 220 lbs. And when I had the USDM seats in I was up at 240lbs.

Then dont buy them its that simple. Use your 200 cobra seat. Ime VERY happy having the JDM recaros in my car.

 

i just installed a pair in the R this week(waited 2 years, so no whim here)...very happy so far. expensive?? yes, but you only live once
