I live in Montgomery County. I just took a look at the Bride GIAS hybrid ulta-lows.... WOW. Those are some nice seats- anyone have any experience with them?
I'm looking into alarm options as we speak.

Don't know about the seats.

For the alarm system: Check out Fresh Designs in Ellicott City, Maryland.

I've got a mint set of Leather Recaros for sale if you are interested. They are located at CBRD SpeedFactory in York, PA 17404. LMK. Good Luck.

Thanks for all the support. My condo subdivision has a camera in the corner of the parking lot which gives a broad overview of the two streets coming and leaving. My car is parked kinda far down one of those streets though. Who ever did it had to have a van, truck, or something like that. I told the front office to review the footage from the night. It would be nice if they could get a license plate or something. If there's one thing I can't stand is car vandals. It seems to be one of the most ignorant things you can do to someones hard earned property. I hope they can get these guys so no one else has to go through this mess.

That makes me think there selling these for cash and have a deal with somebody who can unload them.
My insurance co basically gave me free reign to pick out whatever seats I want now due to the cost from the dealer. After looking at all the options out there, I'm probably going to get another set of Recaro's. The quality of those seats was unreal.
Holy ****!!! $11k for some seats? Jeebus H Christmas trees!?!


Anyways, Sparco makes a great seat as well. Heres the Milano 2 and you can't go wrong with the Bride STRADIA Hybrid Racing Seat. Its got a carbon-kevlar back for ultimate JDM awesomeness!!

That's crazy that the seats make up a 1/3 of the price of the car.

Does anyone know how much the GIAS's weigh? I know my stock recaro's were just about 40 pounds. It would be nice to shed a little weight at the same time.

Yeah- I'm watching those seats very closely ^. I might just get those due to the fact that I had no problem with the recaros and never thought about upgrading.

Hmmm technology to the answer, an RFID tag sewn into the seats should allow these guys to eventually get caught.
