Mike you are right... but S5 bumpers fit S4 bodies, the only difference is the Rubber/Molding Trim.... So If an S5 front bumper was put on an S4 a front lip for an S5 will fit. Mike you know as well as I do.. anything can be done.

After searching until my eyes get blurry on the RX7club.com.... I rather have a S5 body and Tails than an S4... I love the stockish S5 lip look. ..

MIKE STFU- I already talked to my body shop about painting it Winning Blue- It's set up for next month (did I say that out loud?) I knew I seen that 20B FC LSB somewhere.... it was at SPOCOM.... JRX's... or a customer of theirs.

MIKE- STFU... did you know the seats have speakers in them?> I sure didnt. I did think about buckets but the stockies already hug my as and body pretty tight (i like that), most likely reupholstered perforated black vinyl or leather if I can afford leather.... black carpet inside and trunk.... done-

edit: I was thinking about cloth RX8 seats, but to tell you the truth I dont like the look of them on an FC (in my head) and the price for them and to get them fitted in the FC is not worth it to me when I alreday truly love the stock seats. I told you I want to keep it stock-ish look.

Mike- Well pretty much here are my two options
1- Get the Re-Upholstery kit from Racing Beat which is like $400 and have my body shop re-upholster the seats...
Pros: good looks, sure fitment is spot on
Cons: How SHADY said sometime ago, my foam may not be salvalgable or hard to make fit again.
2- Get these seats I found on RotaryInnovations.com $400 and get them re-upholstered.
Pros: Can leave as-is, pretty good condition. Can re-upholster easily considering the foam is pretty good from the pictures
Cons: Is Blue leather and I prefer black, but can always re-upholster and will be easier to do so. Speakers might not be able to be transfered over.

yeah duh Mike (my body shop)... they quoted my bro's 64 impala bench seats at $600 material+labor for the front and back... they are bench seats pretty easy, but way more material then what I would need.

In my case, its only two seats... less material but more time cutting and stitching and whatever it is they do. I def want all black seats. No questions about it.
