Re: Recaro Seats



When one of the cables in my seat snapped and I replaced it, I ended up
pulling up a lot of the seat cover and noticed a little faded pink sticker
on the seat frame under the padding with the word Recaro on it.  The seats
aren't in any way "Sport" like but are very comfortable. This is on an 87
Cabriolet.
