Question Anyone ever put Recaro Bucket Seats in the Rear (show purposes)?

Just wondering if anyone has ever put the Recaro Bucket seats in the rear of their Evolutions. Asking for show purposes. Thanks.

here are the seats that are in the back of the VW GTI R concept car. they run the same seats in the front and in the rear, it is simply stunning, one of the best looking interiors. i think that an evo with four buckets would look awesome, maybe you could figure out how to lower the rear seats in the car so that you could retain the look of a full seat. anyway it would look awesome.

Was this from the New MKV Volkswagen Jetta that was featured at the SEMA 2005?

I've seen it before in other sedan's and it looks pretty cool. MIght have to go with a different back seat, other then the Recaro. I think with the highth of the floor board in the back would make the Recaro's stick way up. even if you could anchor then directly to the floor.

you would need a fuel cell to do this in a evo. the back seat sits on top of the gas tanks.
