I'm looking to swap out the seats in my 02 SVT (leather with cloth inserts) and have fallen in love with the Recaro seats in the 2013 Focus ST2 package (again leathers with cloth inserts). Does anyone know if this is a doable plan or, if not, have any suggestions for what seats to look into?
Look at some aftermarket companies which do custom work.
The seats you want will cost you $4,000. to $6,000.
(Is your whole car worth $6K??)
So get over it. Unless you can arraange to have a ST totalled without damaging the seats (airbags) and then be able to buy them off the junked car ...
Really, find some pro custom place. i am certain they can do seats similar enough to satisfy you. (If you have the cash)
No one is going to be able to duplicate them for anything under a few grand.. and if you want all four....
Or you can get some crook to steal a ST and you got your seats.. and some jail time waiting when someone SEES them in your ride and puts two and two together....
Actually I have a guy willing to get me those seats for around 2 grand total, which is definitely a worth while proposition for me. I'm really just looking to see if anyone has any info on the possibility of getting this done.
haha finding a set of the SVT black recaros is like finding a mermaid. I would jump all over a set if they came up for sale anywhere even remotely close to me.
Based solely on the production numbers of the Euro SVT's only about ~2000 sets of the black recaros were ever produced. [bawling]
None so far, I have a buddy who is willing to fabricate the brackets for me. He said it wouldn't be too much trouble, I just have to wait until I have time for him to really look at the pieces and figure out the specifics.
To the OP, if you find/get some SVT Recaros, you will need to swap the side seat airbags, and probably the seat belt buckles, from your '02 seats, into the new Recaros, otherwise you will have an air bag light. Good luck.
