Default Since we've started talking about seats, here's a sneak preview of my RS4 with Recaro CS...

... and some other stuff

This is demo car number 2 for us (Speak With Me, Inc.)

These pics were taken with my crappy iPhone camera, I'll replace them with better pics from my Canon when I go back to the shop.

In here is a prototype of our next generation dialogue manager that lets you talk to your car like KITT from Knight Rider.

We're about 80% finished our first product which will be released in late 2009 / early 2010 as a navigation system with the speech UI of your dreams.

(peeps in Northern CA have seen it in my G35).

(As for the demo car, that'll be finished in 2 more months - and the logo is upside down in the trunk, they are redoing it now.)

And spirals, please email me if you'd like a driver's seat.

The leather AND the piping are perfectly matched to the factory leather


The trim is body color with an aluminum grain hydrographic

The speakers are Focal Utopia Be, linked to the Alpinr F#1 Status gear, and connected to a Mac Mini with an SSD. The amps are Steg Masterstroke MSK-1500.

All of the construction is aluminum and fiberglass to keep the weight down, and with the recaro CS seats, the car looses more weight than the amp rack increased it, and it added a slight rearward bias.

The car also has the Stasis Motorsport Suspension. The rims are still stock till it leaves the shop.

Before you consider entailing a project like this - know that it's taken 9 months to do all this.

(Also know that it will be daily driven like my g35 has been which now has 77,000 miles on it).<ul><li><a href="http://gallery.me.com/ajayjuneja#100055&amp;bgcolor=black&amp;view=grid" >RS4 pics with Recaro CS and all sorts of other stuff</a></li></ul>

have you considered painting the back of the seats the same sprint blue to retain the look?

We chose to cover it in the factory silk nappa leather - there is enough blue in the car.

Default Personally don't like the look of the blue trim peices, but keep us posted on the project progress

Maybe you can overlay some blue stichings here and there, or emboss the rear RS4 logo in blue. Just a thought.

Default High quality work for sure, but not my style......

I prefer something that looks like the car came that way from the factory. While the install looks absolutely top rate, it most defnitely looks "altered".
