Rare Carbon Seats :) swap for Leather

[Jin Kazama]

this is off topic but iv just given a carbon one away lol. if id known it was worth seomething...... well never mind

I have had two FD\'s and both had the carbon look seats in, so I didn\'t think they were rare which was why I gave my last pair away too.

IIRC they were a bathurst special edition feature, but they aren\'t all that rare coz\' they kept coming out with bathursts!

Yeah, these carbon look seats aren\'t rare, they just put them in later model fd\'s I also found the carbon look seats to be a bit softer than the alcanter version. I think if you have a black fd, the only option is to get red leather seats..goes together like cheese on toast

I have black leather seats which I can swap for yours. As I own a UK spec RX7 FD. Let me know if this interests you.

in my opinion they are rare - for proof see cars at RS4 and compare the amounts of alcantara to carbon look. i dont mean they are rare as in limited edition at all but i waited 8 months to find 1 set.

i will refund anyone who is disapointed or who does not find them firmer than alcantara ones. they come out of later bathurst models as has been said so they tend to be in much better nik than alcantara and flame me if you will but i find the alcantara ones a bit dull and non sports car ish plus most of all and perhaps my only reason for sale is that they are just dusty they tend to make the whole interior that way for me anyway.

also i took them out of my car yesterday so unfortunately they wont be in for RS4 but they are fantastic looking and feeling seats in my opinion and many others so i have worries about the new owner not loving them.

I have the suade type and my mate wants to swap for his Red leathers - are they really that much nicer??

well i like red but they wear badly which is a downer but the biggest factor for me is the rest of the interior some had just the seats and carpets and some had every single bit in the interior red! even the belts and doors etc!

i like them but i dont think they look good with an all black interior.

:Thumbs-up

I agree that the alcantara seats look dull and dated. They look kinda blue, and if i had the cash i would get mine recovered half leather such as the bolsters and the main part alcantara.

I now realise I have a mint set of carbon effect in my car!!
(I said they looked like carbon but I thought it was a fluke! doh!)

Yeah, I\'ve got mint carbon-effect seats too and I really like \'em!
