more than one of you gotta have **** lots of money to get an RS4 in the first place (yes it's just a stereotype...) but come on... at least one of you gotta have some left to get these puppies...

Default Yeah but..

The money isn't the issue. Once I found out that the US seats actually are a bit safer due to the added air bags, I decided that its not worth it to me.

Also, I dunno what it is but the pics of those seats don't look right to me. If I was gonna do this, I'd go with the black with colored stitching. I've never seen this two tone look before. its like blue and grey? what RS4 did that come out of?

or are those replicas?

Default these are black w/ fabric that looks like the "speed" fabric insert...

it looks very similar to the fabric of my s-line seats...

the fabric always comes out weird on pics...

i'm pretty confident these are OEM, probably off one of the first/pre-production RS4s that Audi sell to "scrap" yards... these guys can only part out the cars, they cannot sell them as a whole... very common for Audi and very common to see these parts on eBay Germany...

Default Interesting..

not my cup of tea, but they do look pretty cool..

i still plan on doing custom alcantara inserts to my RS4 seats so it looks like my S4. only problem is figuring out if the alcantara color to match the carbon fiber (if i can't hold out until the aluminum model i ordered shows up)..

Default Too funny I was talking to another RS4 owner about these seats just tonight

Guessed 4,000E but they are only 3,499E - what a deal!

Default Personally, I have no problem with the Recaros.

They are comfortable and very adjustable. It would be a bitch get into the Euro seats without the flat bottom steering wheel anyway.

Default I second that notion

I would possibly consider it if the entire seat were leather. Does this persons auction include the door panels?

Default possibly if full leather with silver inserts and stitching, but even then...

...they look like my *** won't fit in there. And then there's the airbag issues that would have to be dealt with.

I got this car because I *don't* want to mod anymore! At least nothing that requires any real effort.

Default Black alcantara would be sweet....

I could see doing that at some point. Other than the lack of alcantara option, I'm very happy w/the US RS4 recaros -- lateral support, comfort and adjustability are brilliant IMO.
