Recaro Profi SPG Fitment in M2

Anyone have any luck getting one to fit? I'm trying to install mine now and it looks like the shoulder flares are hitting the door and I can't move the seat over any more.

I got it in, but it's pressing up against the door card. Not enough to leave a dent yet, but it's right up against it.

It’s just the specific bracket used to mount to the floor. There is tons of room on the right to move the seat over, but then you won’t be as centered with the wheel.

It'd be awesome if you could snap one with the door closed just so I can see fitment. I was test sitting the Recaro Profi and the Pole Position on the weekend and I definitely preferred the Profi in terms of comfort.

You already are sitting offset from the wheel on the OE seats.

It’s subtle, but now that you know, you won’t be able to unsee it.

Edit: I guess more accurately, the stock see is not square to the wheel. Here’s a discussion.
