DaddyBuiltRacing Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Worth it or not...let the discussion begin http://www.hondamarketplace.com/showthread.php?t=2455501&highlight=rear+seat+recaro For those that choose not to scroll through the thread, heres some highlights: JDM ITR DB8 RED Rear Seats: 3000 OBO That isn't a typo. I don't care if you don't like the price. This is one of TWO known sets WORLDWIDE. Came from a 1997 E-DB8 in Japan as a FACTORY OPTION. These match the front Recaros perfectly. I will keep these for my EJ1 if they don't sell. They are flawless except for the minor fade at the top. It is almost invisible in person, but the flash brings it out. Let me know if you need more pictures. Yes, you are correct that only CDM ITRs got the red rear seats. However, the CDM didn't have a 4-door ITR, and those red hatchback seats have the black tray like the USDM models. The person I bought them from imported them from Japan, and they were pulled from a JDM 1997 E-DB8. In case you're wondering, the suede and tweed is an exact match on all the seats I have. This option was available from Honda Japan for 1996-1997 DB8 Integra Type-R only. The 4-door model's seats came standard with black alcantara and red stitching. These seats were an option for the people that ordered front red seats and wanted the backs to match. Only a small number of DB8 owners opted for red Recaros to begin with, so even fewer opted for red rears. With only two limited production years for DB8 ITR, it was no wonder that there are so few of these. The seller mentioned that he only knew of one other set that he had seen in Japan, and that person wasn't selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 as nice as they may be, and as nice as they match, dude paid 3k for seats. and REAR seats at that. will probably never even get sat in. if you wanna get nitpicky, the shades of red arent exact. the rears are a little lighter. HAHAHAH dude got ripped! shits weak!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost face Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I'd say not. $3000 for a pair of rear seats that you probably rarely use. Also think of all the unwanted attention you'll get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLN SUX Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 just extra weight... id spend that 3k on a fuel cell, some coilovers, and stickies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 It really depends on the kind of person you are and if you have the $$ to do so. I paid $550 for my JDM rear zenki bumper with brackets. I'm sure no one on this forum can understand what they mean and how rare it is, but I do so I like it.

Ef8sirJunkie Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 those rear seats are very rare to find but I dont think it would be worth it unless your making some JDM badass show car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 The first thing that came to mind when I clicked this thread was: I bet it's a Honda owner. Shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 If I was to pay 3k for seats, you bet no one would sit in them. I would never pay that for seats though. I would rather buy some decent bedroom furnishing I could actually use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX-7 Addict Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 wow for 3k you might be able to make a honda decently fast on second thought.. that 3k is better spent on another car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supldys Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Our economy would be fine if there were idiots like these all over the world buying ADM spec door handles and cup holders. They're not even f-ing recaros, you can buy those for cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 They're not even f-ing recaros, you can buy those for cheaper. Um... they are Recaro's. Recaro's came stock in the ITR and CTR outside of the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant like they're not even a racing seat, for that much money you could just get 2 nice recaro's put in the back. They're nothing but red back seats.
