$1,750 purchased these Recaro seats ! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I bought these seats for $1,750 and let me tell you how.
I'm pretty happy about this one.

Im pretty much always on this forum

go figure. I'm looking for a ZL1 front bumper used but I'm in no hurry to get one but if I come across a good deal I'll buy it. With that being said, that's why I'm always checking out the classifieds. I saw someone post up recaro seats for sale and I think these are sweet but I have better mods in my mind to spend on then 3-4K on seats. My ss seats are fine. Someone replied to his thread because he was asking 3700 for the seats with 25K miles on them and mentioned a shop near where I live that had them that the car had 5K miles on them for 2500. The next day, I called the shop up and sure enough they had them. I asked if they would take my seats and use it towards the recaros. I offered 1750 and he said yes.

I'm thinking, did this just happen? These seats are sweet power, no heat and no airbags. The no airbags kind of sucks but not the end of the world ( hopefully, lol) also a small problem is that the passenger side seat belt don't click together. The female end attached to the new seat is to small. I'll call Chevy tomorrow. to see what my options are. Overall awesome. These seats are in perfect shape. I think I got a great deal. They make my car look so much nicer.

That tag on the side of the seat I'm sure says airbag, no?

Congrats! The Recaro seats are the best seat I've ever sat in. My old back appreciates them every single day.

What he says. Would think the airbag system warning message would be lit up if you didn't have active bags on the seat sides.
