Installled a Recaro Ergomed ES on 2 inch spacers on a Planted Technologies seat bracket. Two challenges: Reconnecting the seatbelt wires so the car doesn't throw an error ever startup. And finding an ignition controlled fuse that can fulfill the high initial power draw (20 amps), the only ignition controlled fuses in the passenger footwell are 10amps or less. So I used 2 fuse taps with a relay so if I won't have to worry about the seat heater/cooler draining the battery.

This is so cool. Upgrading seats has become much more difficult with all the technology in cars today.
Thank you for showing this.
