Buckets are a big value add to me. It may price some out of the car but that is fine, you wont struggle to find a buyer regardless.

If you come across a set of stock seats though for $3k it may be worth it to swap them in.

Agreed on both.
If you don’t have the stock seats already, finding the right ones and dealing with pickup or shipping or whatever other avenue isn’t worth it to me. But I feel it’s more appealing to more potential buyers to just keep the buckets in there.

That color would look much better with PCCB calipers.

Agreed. Also was ordered with Customization Package DZJ in which the original owner ordered black wheels, rear wing end plates, and mirrors ($4,495 in total for these). However, they missed the front bumper lip stick which is painted Guards Red by default on .2 RS’. That has since been rectified. Also this is a radio delete car.

... and now the re-painted lip stick in gloss black is not much better. if it's gonna be re-painted, might as well go with a satin (which would not contrast to the lower splitter as much)

maybe they were trying to match up with the rims & mirrors (which are further away)

If someone is driving distance and wanted to swap seats with me for $7k I would do it, otherwise I’d leave them because there is a good chance you’ll get at least a $5k premium. When I sold my car (after selling the seats on rennlist) the first thing the buyer asked me is if I knew anyone selling seats, he ended up buying ROWs.

That color with the 4.0 silver accents/wheels and badges would be killer

Would IMO be even better if it had the orange graphics and accents like this one. This particular car came from the factory with them as part of the DZM Customization Package. IMO this is the best .2 RS around as far as color scheme.

Not the same car. The Sharkwerks car is Mexico Blue this one is Riviera but very similar cars. This example belongs to the owner of Northstar Motorsports near Chicago who I believe has owned the car since new.
