Default So much of the interior is Ecru

I looked around, the belts, all the trim, everything. I was considering going to a black interior when I saw the seats were grey, but then I looked around, everything on the interior would have to be changed.

Default Haven't checked

The seats are different from our seats, they are made by Recaro.

I am hurrying up as we speak looking at wiring diagrams.....haven't even got that far yet. I figure I could always "monster garage it" if need be.

But so far, so good, looks like they could be plug and play.

Default The wiring will be close

It's interesting to look under the seats.....a lot more wires on the driver's side as compared to the passenger side. But then you see the little brain box there.....it's the seat memory brain box.

It can be switched to either right or left seat.

I'll try hooking it up, if it doesn't work, I won't have seat memory, but that's the only thing I think I would loose.

The basic wiring connection (three connectors) looks almost exact right now.

There is a small light bulb on the bottom back of each of these seats, it would be cool to have those light!

Default Re: Seat light.

My seats have rear seat footwell lights. Works great. Did yours not have them?

In the gutter, of course! :-)

Default pic you asked for

<img src="http://www.ma70.com/danmac/temp/paulspic.jpg">

A quick photoshop using the swatch you posted. If this does not look right, let me know and I can adjust the color more.

Default Well,

they do highlight the shoes of the backseat passengers, and we *know* you're interested in footwear. ;-)

Default Dude, that's pimpin'!

However, I decided I will do **** carpet on them......black....it will look cool!

I know it's going to look very cool......but that Photoshop doesn't do it justice.

I'm going for it!!!

Pimp my ride baby!

Will it make me turn faster laps at Grattan? I hope so!

Default Not to over do it, but how about a subtle four rings stitched in the insert?
