Any bros with experience between C5 and C6 seats? Love the way these 2012+ seats look...could be a nice upgrade. My seats are fine enough, but currently a bit meh.
Why would you do this instead of just getting the Recaro Speed V? While more attractive than C5 seats, they are not meaningfully more supportive. C5 and C6 stock seats suck. Every last one of them.

Do zo6 seats get lumbar adjustment and shit too? They look like the base seats.

The C6 GS seats range from $900-1200 from what I've seen.

Recaros are double the price.

I'll probably just do nothing.

I've actually been working a lot. Can't slack off on my first few days. At my old :dillerman: job I could sit on the computer for hours and do what ever I'd like.

Man I went to put one of my new CDs in the car this morning and it gave me Err and ejected. There was a cd playing when I started it so I don't think it's the laser, but probably the mechanism that pulls the disc in.

I'll have to see if it works later. I read this morning that some people had issues until the dash warmed up, but if not I might have to send some dollhairs your way.

I can use the aux but it just doesn't sound anywhere near as good.

Let me double check this weekend. It might have been lost in the flood.

The thing is, aftermarket radios are so damned cheap and offer so many more features these days, it's the way to go IMO.

I ordered a Sony unit with bluetooth, aux-in, HD radio, CD player, from Crutchfield with all harnesses and adapters for under $100.

Really don't care for the way it looks, but the usability is WAY better than the old stock one.

Looks are my major issue with the aftermarket. I bought this one from Germany and it was in German, but it looked good in my Subaru.

Yea, I have no idea why companies don't make this.

All the stereo receiver guys went to the same design school as the ATS interior guys.
