I guess it depends what you want. A full out race seat (which will require a kidney belt for anything over a 30 minute ride) or comfortable performance (vader-style).

Rock the Dove Grey Vaders Dustin. Your car can take the contrast. Everything else you've done has turned out great. I have Dove Grey Sports in my ///M and the only downside is, they're a little hard to get and keep clean.

Thanks!! I'm trying to work out a price on them right now. Does anyone know if the Ti rear seats will work in an m3?

Don't think the rears are completely interchangable between the ti and an ///M. I think there have been a few threads on that. The bottoms should fit but the tops and side bolsters may be the issue.

Check my gallery, I posted new pics with the Dove Grey against the Violett ext.

Those are grey. I dyed mine beige. I can show you a picture of my biege dyed Vaders, with the grey hard shell backs. The color difference isn't huge

My educated guess is no. The belt mounts are completely different for one and I have always heard that M seats will not fit in a Ti so the opposite should be true. Bets solution for the rears is reupolster with matching leather or find a set of Sand Gray Ti rears.

Take a look at my seats. I dyed them Sandgrau (Biege). The plastic bottom and backshell are the original Dove Grey.
