I have to say that $550 for a set of seats is steep. I would sell a set for $250.

Normally I just pull the bottoms off and sell them as that's the part that wears out in most cases and it can be shipped.

I have a complete set of Alpaca beige leather seats from an 04'. $250, local pick up only...

Sorry, but do you know how much work it is to pack up a set of seats to ship them safely? It's impossible, and the shipping would probably cost $500!!!

It's a bummer, but some things are not meant to be shipped.

I would like to hear more about the RR seats being installed into D2s.

I still would like to either lower the seat height, or move it rearwards a few inches to make room for my long legs. It is tough to get them under the steering wheel, especially after I had Knee replacement surgery on my right knee.

Or the steering wheel needs to pivot upwards farther. What good is a steering wheel that goes down far enough to rest on the seat cushion??

I've always thought the seats didn't go back far enough too. The passenger seat goes so fat forward I assumed it was for some country chauffer setup. Stupid.
