I did a search and found that people puke at the thought of putting Tenzo Type R seats in their car. But I didn't find anything about the Rallye-2 seats. They are black with gray accents and my buddy has them brand new w/o brackets. With the black I read that I won't have a bad problem with fading, but what other problems run hand and hand with Tenzo R seats? Will I be able to mount them in my 7th gen without the brackets from Tenzo? How does $300 sound for both seats? (That's what he said he'd give them to me for) Thanks in advance!

300 doesnt sound bad for both. Without the Tenzo brackets n sliders your probably going to have to customize your stock setup to acept the seat. I believe the main reason people stick thier nose up at these is the fact that they are not a certfied seat for things such as SCCA and things of that nature. If it was me personaly I would save some more and get a Sparco or Recaro thats all approved and everything. I have sat in the Tenzo and I will say it did feel quite comfy and very nice grip on me.

They fit me great too! What is SCCA? Does that mean I wouldn't be able to do 1/4 mile tt's with them if I wanted to? But this is like a one and only thing cause he's my dads employee and would probably take $275 if I had it. Anything else would cost me that per seat And the color of these match perfectly too.

I have a set of the Tenzo R Evo (red on the outside, black and red weave in the middle). I picked them up for $200, used for two months. I really like them and everyone that has sat in them really likes them as well. I was going to get RSX or Si seats, but for the price and look of them I couldn't pass up the deal. I don't really care about racing and auto-x and they are great for everyday driving.

That's what I think too. I MIGHT go do a few 1/4 mile runs after I do my K20A2 but that's not till far from now. Do you have any problem with them jgrow, quality/mechanics wise?

Yea unless your like road racing with them you should be fine. I know a few people running them and the build quality seems ok except for a little fading. If your just looking for a seat to daily drive in and spruce up the interior a bit go for it. The Tenzo are alot better than most knock offs out there.

Well, I will do the inevitable outrun with my friends on the highway or a redlight to redlight thing, but nothing serious or professional. But since I'm getting black they won't really fade. Someone on honda-acura.net posted that the closer the color to the sun (orange, red, yellow, etc.) the more they will fade. With gray and black they said almost no fading for a more than a few years.

I know for a fact the yellow ones fade fast as a ****, as do the reds. I havent seen a black one faded yet.

No fading here yet. May be due to my 5% tints though :-) The quality is great for the price. Nothing breaking or anything like that.

I worked with fabric years, color has nothing to do with fadeing. The colorfastness of the dye and its application control it. All fabrics will fade iime!
Even my charcoal Recaros did!

Meh... sounds like most people here aren't all to against Tenzo R seats like on honda-acura.net. I think I'm gonna take up the offer. I'll post some pics just to give people a little more of an idea of what I got in case you don't know.

wait, do these tenzo R seats fit without modding the stock hardware? ive also heard some things about them beinga bit wide so they have to open the door to put their seatbelts on or something....

Really? Well I know that I'll need brackets from Tenzo R other wise I'll have to mod the stock hardware, but can you find me anything about the seats being too wide? They are the Rallye-2 seats, not the Type R's.
