[s-cars] RS6 and Recaro

[ccohen5]

The seats I was after are not real Audi seats.  Very nice full Sport seats
that have the harnesses to be fitted to the A6, 5 Series or Merc 3 and 4
series.  If you give them the interior code, they will also deliver in your
original finish.  It seems that you must use a drop shipment technique to a
European who will dismantle them sufficiently to meet a parts definition and
hide or remove the explosives for the air bags.  Then ship it to the US.  My
estimate of cost is about $2000 per seat to do this whole exercise making it
a formidable indulgence!

| Colin-
| My suggestion is not to even bother w/ gettin the "real" Audi Recaro
| seats, but rather to simply get the Recaro Trend seat and have it
| custom-upholstered in OEM leather.
|
| The rear bench can obviously be imported w/o any problems, so you get
| the OEM rear "Recaro" bench and then have custom-upholstered (by Recaro)
| off-the-shelf seats.
