Recaro Sportster CS seats installed!

I've got a '19 Comp and I just installed a set of used Sportster CS seats with custom AMX Performance upholstery. I bought them off a friend who had them in his '20 comp. He's switching to full buckets.

I absolutely love these seats so far. Very comfortable, although I haven't done any long-distance driving in them yet.

Since I track the car, my next plan is to buy/build a harness bar(not a half cage) and get a couple of harnesses.

Since the seats don't have heat or airbags, I had to code out the error messages. And with those coded out, we weren't sure where to connect the illuminated M2 Badge to. For now, we just tapped into a wire under the seat, but it doesn't fade in/out when turning on/off like the stock baddge does. The stock badge, I believe, is connected to the floor lights. I couldn't find any wiring diagrams, so if anyone has any experience with these let me know!

That looks great. I have the regular black alcantara/leather version of this in my M2 and they've been great on the street and the track. I use the Schroth QuickFit Pro harness with these and that's been working quite well.

Do I see a brace in the back there? Got more pictures and details on it? TIA.

The back brace I think is the Stern performance unit with the net. You can look it up. I'm also curious to see some more pictures on the attachment points. Kind want to DIY it myself since it's 2 bars lol.
