Remaking The Interior Of The IS300 With Brand NEW Recaro Seats!!

- Everything seems to be coming together now for the IS300 daily cruiser project. The car is finally sealed-up with a fresh ceramic coat and after it got back from the body shop, I get a call that my Recaro seats have come in! It's been about 7 months of waiting for them to come from overseas so I was stoked to finally be able to get them into the car. After that, Der spends a few hours helping me wire-up my LED taillights from Japan as well!

"I never sound like it, but I'm excited". I relate to this, haha. The IS is really coming together well! The seats and door panels really transformed the interior for the better.
Really enjoyed this type of “a day in the life of Joey” style vlog!
Those seats are perfect !! The interior is shaping up to be absolutely beautiful … can’t wait to see the rear seat material installed ..
in my opinion that vivid red fabric looks a bit tacky for the rear. i would let it sit as is for now. just be patient you will find it eventually. The car is turning out great!!
Wow!!! Them Recaros are sick!!!!
everything coming together nicely!
I relate so much recently finding something under the passenger seat too... My new daily is a 2012 TSX Sport Wagon that had a wet passenger floor front to back randomly due to the AC drain hose cracking, dripping all water inside instead of out. The fear you had taking the seat in and out was exactly the same I had. Unfortunately 1 slip and I gashed my door grip, which is a rubberized handle and like 100 bucks to replace lol... We might not be building engines, but we're doing what we're capable of for the passion we love👌
Side note: if it wasn't so hard to find in MN I also would have a Sport Cross. Got lucky on the Sport Wagon find at sub 60k miles. A friend of mine went Sport Cross with the same choices! Definitely 2 of the underrated and rare JDM wagons that made it Stateside.
Nice video again! New seats are nice, they change the car so much.
Personally I’d leave the rear seats rather than have it slightly off. ✌️
that thing is looking real fresh!!
Led tail lights look awesome.
Leave the rear seats as you've got them, I like how connected it looks to the original interior while also being totally unique with the Recaro's and optional door card fabric; it all still looks like it be a factory option. Pulling the Recaro and Door Card fabric together so well makes customizing the rear inconsequential at this point...
Agreed!
Love the car coming together nice 👍
Had no clue what rails to get for my sr6 seats.. this video helped a lot! Easy to find these rails for 93-07 Impreza
Super dope job on the lights Der, most people I see around have them half assed and one blinks and the other changes a channel on a distant tv while the other flutters and no brake lights. Lol. 🤘🔥😎🔥🤘
Those taillights look amazing
On vacation and still uploading a video for us real MVP. Btw that front fold seat was designed to load your ski, surfboard, and other outdoor stuff if I recall. There was a catalog from Lexus that had a photo demostrating that feature.
I schedule the upload before I left lol
Love the Wagon, lights look great.
I am really enjoying this altezza wagon build. I will have mines soon.
7:11 me the whole time Joey was showing the folded seat lol
Recaro fabric pattern and color reminds me of the color they use for the DC5 - SR4 seats.
What an awesome idea to have the passenger seat fold down into a usable table. I would never put it back up. Passengers can sit in the back.
It is actually for carrying longer items since it is a wagon
Gonna use this a how-to for my IS
Nice timing for a late night snack.
You can spray tint on the fabric to make it darker. Or dye the color. That way at least the red will match better with the front seats.
Wow that new Recaro completes that interior with those door panels! Soo nice! Would you sell your stock seats and suede door inserts? Also where did you buy these Recaros any links?
Look so good 😊💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
I'd definitely watch a JDM Fake Taxi Diljoe crossover though
My supra is the same color and has the same wheels as you lmfao.
Definitely Going to subscribe to this channel!
It's turtles! You're fired! Lol
How much to wire tails like that? Wow dope upgrade!
Hey man great video!, I have some recaro sr3’s I’m about to throw in mine, after watching this definitely going with the bride ro’s now. Did you have to buy the bride adapter plates I saw they make them and don’t wanna waste 100 more bucks if I don’t need to thanks again keep up the good work !
Nah I didn’t need them. For Recaro SR series seats it should bolt up just fine. The adapter would also make the seat sit way taller than I want.
Where did you get the fabric for the door panels?
Will the recaro sr3 work with the bride ro rails?
where did you order the seats from?
Previous owner of my IS300 drank coffee and smoked. The carpet and center console was stained with coffee. I still have cigarette burns on the sun visors and a pillar lol smmfh
Hello...do you have the link or maybe the name of the brackets?
Baller
Were you ever able to figure out what the small black/white wires are for? I just received my Recaro SR-7 from ASM and it came with the similar wiring. Thanks!
It’s for the seatbelt weight sensor for newer cars
@@THECHRONICLES Thank you! I'm currently waiting on my rails from Recaro to arrive and was a bit confused. Thank you!
Curious - what is process you used to purchase the Recaro seats? Internet web site, friend in Japan?
Friend helped me bring them into the country
Early bird
What floormats are those? I'd like to get a set for my IS!
Phase2 Motortrend!
I've attended a couple meets and the younger crowd is some what undisciplined. Yet to learn to enjoy the moment not destroy it. Revving engines, speeding out the parking lot, loud music, 2 stepping, acting rowdy, etc.
What kind of floor mats are those??..
Phase 2 Motortrend
Did the seat come with hardware for the bracket? Also could you link what slider and bracket you used I'm going to grab a set of these for my is300 base
Yes it comes with hardware for the bracket. The slider and brackets are Bride RO-Type, I don’t have the part number off the top of my head.
@@THECHRONICLES good looks, thank you
@@THECHRONICLES hey did those also just bolt right up to the bride bracket and slider or any modifications needed to get it to work?
@@kbske0618 they bolt right on, zero modification needed
@THECHRONICLES does the RO bracket make the seat sit lower than OE or is it the same or higher?
Floomat?
I noticed you have 2 coin holders and a blank insert, but no security plug.
Factory system
Specs on the wheels?
18x8.5 +38 18x9.5 +45
Maybe just redo the back in all black suede with red stitching without the red inserts?
Id just re do the back seat to be black black, and leave the red for the front.
idk if you made up your mind or not but i would totally leave the rear seats alone in my opinion.
I haven’t but I just feel like it needs something lol
Having three different shades of red on the interior would drive me nuts. If anything I would just do black with red stitching like the steering wheel.
Yeah I've already decided to not use it, I filmed this like two weeks ago lol
@@THECHRONICLES I kinda figured based off your Instagram.
You didn’t pull the seat through the window?!
LOL!
Well eventually, if you have enough people sit in the back. It will darken the mesh and slighty match the rest of the darker red 😅😅😅
haha....
i spy another tsx. whats going on with that one?
It's the same one.
@@THECHRONICLES oh ok. still no updates on it huh?
@@jcp_2000 not really haha
Der wire 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No way i would put that material on the back seats. That will bother you when done.
Do you know of a good upholstery guy that car reupholster my recaro seat?
friends and females and stuff
If only the is300 was the non wagon version lol
Nahh the wagon version is dopee i wish they weren’t so rare in 🇬🇧
AEW!
Don’t use that red mesh fabric! Doesn’t match
Don’t do it. It’s gonna annoy you they don’t match!
