WTB: Sport Touring Seats

Like the title says, I'm looking to replace my cloth seats with the leathers. I'd be willing to also do a straight trade or trade +cash.

Side note: CA got lucky with the Touring coming 6MT with leather and the screen. JEALOUSY.

Yes we are very lucky. I love my 6MT touring hatch

Think so? We can buy a type r for the same price...anyway katzskin dealer charges 1800$ for the whole interior and you can pick your own colors

True. Type R was off the table for me since I was rolling my BMW into a new car. Dealer tried to sell me on a sport touring and I just laughed. I can't do the CVT, needed that MT in my life.

So I've heard of Katzskin - is it cheaper than just buying stock seats from someone? $1800 is a bit steep imo for seats. That's literally over half of what I paid to get the hatch up near the 300HP club lol.

Depends on the seller I guess but at least you can choose your material and color an upholstery shop might do it cheaper

You have to also figure in that the sport touring seats are both powered. Not sure how the wiring would go. It’s definitely going to be additional costs. And it’s not a straight swap. Aftermarket would probably be cheaper option.
