And they look great too. How hard was the install, and any CEL problems w/ cancelled airbags?
I brought it to a shop for installation. The shop is experienced with installing recaro's (which is good because instructions are in Japanese). It looked straightforward. Install rails on new seats, remove old seats, install the cancel side airbag thingy, then install new seats. No CEL with the cancelled airbags.

Yep, pretty much lose all function except move front/back, and tilt back seats. But I feel the seats are perfect, only need to tilt the back to adjust. I don't find the need to adjust anything else. Of course, you should try the seats first before you make a decision.
