Default New Spoon reclining seats

Thought some ITR owners might be interested in these. They look like JDM Recaros as far as bolstering goes but with different material and stitching. Considering that Spoon makes these I feel that they are reasonably priced . We ALL know what the word "Spoon" does to a price tag. I spoke with Ben at A&J last week and he has about 30 coming in from Japan by the end of Feb and half are already sold to the US. I'm going to try one out when they come in to see if my fatass will fit . They also have seat brackets for the DC2 as well.

Not a bad looking seat. I'd guess they're made by Recaro, since we all know Spoon is just a branding company.

The plastic area for shoulder harnesses look exactly like Recaro SRD's. You gonna get a set Chris?

That's what I was thinking. I'll have to see them in person to judge the quality.

If I fit in them and are comfortable I will.

I'm really surprised at the price. It's weird, they really don't match my pre conception of a Spoon seat.

Looks exacly like a Bride Ergo II to me. The upper section definately has that "Holding Monster" look to it.

Meh, I'll stick with the brand new USDM SRD's I have coming in the mail this week.

for new Spoon products!

Meh, the JDM ones look ok, until that is you find out that Alcantra is the most stubborn, pain in the *** fabric to take care of (god help you if you have red). Then the USDM SRD's look pretty sweet. This is the conclusion I came to.

Trust me, if I had my choice, I'd have the red JDM SRD's to match my red rear CDM seats. Too much work though! But yes, they do look sexy

Yep. I've got them. Only in Canada, only in 2001, only 250 of them. Rare as it gets.
