This local area guy is seeking to sell special edition seat set for $ or trade for 04+ leather seat set.

I actually like special edition seat set. I was looking for that for forever but I have no luck so I brought 04+ leather seat instead that.

So I'm doing silver/black theme on my summer car. Which seat should look good on my car?

Keep 04+ leather seat or trade mine for special edition seat?

If you never seen special edition seat. It is silver/gray two tone color. It is kind like Daytona 500 I think.

*edit*

I figure this pictures help. I borrow this picture from ebay motor so his is much better than that.

special edition seat



vs.

mine

I would stick with your 04 seats. They offer more comfort and more "hugging" when you take a tight turn. If not, wana install the 04's in my car??

Yeah, I like that when they are soft to sit on. It was hard choice because I like both of them very much. 04+ leater have nice look and soft to sit. Special edition seat set have two colors tone that I like.

So far 2 votes for 04+ leather. I figure that some of you might like 2 tone colors but I guess I'm wrong wink

i love two tone seats, i really wish i found a special edition in my price range when i was looking. The first gtp i looked at was a daytona 500 for only 5 ot 6 grand with 60K miles about 2 years ago, but the dealership looked really shaddy, had only 10 cars, and specialized in "collision repair"

just to go against the grain I'll say go two-tone, but I hear the 04+ is more comfortable, I've never sat in one

Keep the 04 seats. Only because there aren't many GPs running around with an interior swap. You can always have the 04 seats reupholstered into a two tone. I'm sure Katskinz even has a DIY kit.

04+ feels way better to ride on, but I like the non leather ones that are made of some kind of stretchy high end cloth.

Keep the 04's because if you get the special edition seats, your going to have to find that gray door panel trim thing (whatever its called) and thats more money, so stick with the 04 seats.
