thanx.
The seats were to be all black with logo headrest... not sure what I am going to do about it. Might be time to yell at someone.

i agree, or at least some very serious talking to make sure you get the proper item. see if they'll send you the proper item and let you keep the seats they sent, so you can sell them to me for cheap =D

so it seems like they are the correct seats. NRG is saying that this picture:

is the same product. The only difference is lighting....
IIM as always has been great, but NRG is unwilling to do anything about it. So, I guess they are here to stay. +$500 and not exactly as I expected.
I wonder why I drink some days.

so they're claiming that lighting make it seem like there is a NRG logo and completely different colours??
Messed up man, I would start a hate thread or something at the least, get some heat on these goofs.

"they sold 200 last week and no one else has any issues"
Whatever, they might grow on me. They at least fit me better than the blue ones.

ya... there are some large cosmetic issues. They might match the head liner and A pillars tho. A bit of a shame. When picking out seats, or anything inside for that matter - is impacted greatly by cosmetics. Oh well, I'll post pics when I get the car cleaned and the seats installed.

Honestly, send them a side by side, and play the 'spot the differences' game.
I'll start.
1) The logo
2) The edge colour
3) The wrinkles in your fabric
4) The big metal knob
5) The front and back of your headrest is a different colour
6) The fabric itself is not the same.

What about what you can't see?
My feelings..
IIM is willing to make things right. They'll do cost price on a "big" purchase or something of the sort. Carbon hood/Big brake kit/Suspension.. who knows.
