you should get the sides painted so the CF is just in the middle....photochop it....It'd look sweet. How about the CF splitter too?

I thought about it... but not sure yet. I am going to be working on the middle grille - i wanna transfer the stock stuff on this hood.

maybe I will try with some vinyl first!

This is not true. I have spoken with Recaro North America about this and they are furious. I would like to see an official letter from Recaro stating that they make the seats for Arospeed. The Arospeed seats are complete copies of Recaros and are made in the Far East. Look at the recline mechanism, and the frame assembly, etc.. Arospeed is no different than TenzoR, Matrix, D.A.D., APC, Toucan, R-1, etc.......

Before mis-information is spread on this forum, I would suggest that the proper homework is done. Recaro, Sparco, etc. spend millions of dollars on R&D and have subjected their aftermarket seats to the same standards as the OEM products they make for the automobilie manufacturers. A seat is an integral part of the safety equation inside the vehicle and changing to an inferior product is sacrificing driver and passenger protection.

I think ur a bit ignorant there. U didnt speak with ANYONE from recaro so dont lie. They are made by recaro... They come in Recaro box... hmmm... maybe i should post some pics and all the warranty paperwork from them. I spoke with Arospeed myself and you know what their whole thing was?

the safety issue with products like this is too delicate. And rather than reinventing the wheel they employed a company who has spent $$$$$ in development, a company who are leaders in the industry of racing seats, OEM seats and so on.
THAT IS #1 reason for this partnership.

I expect an apology after my pictures are posted.

Sport Compact Car magazine even investigated an realized this to be true, so dont think you know anything - cuz u dont know ****., thank you drive through.
