Nice, what all is required for the seat swap in the convertible?

Do you need to recode airbags?

Thanks…. The interior I painted is coming from the same exact year make and model so after research I found out as long as I disconnect the battery I shouldn’t get any codes 🤞🏾

I'm a bit confused. Your first post shows F83 seats but then the second image of seats have an SS emblem, then it looks like you just painted your existing seats. Just trying to follow here. I would've stuck with the SO but it looks like they were done well.

So I was looking at the color that the SS seats were dyed! I wanted mine to be that same color… I bought some beige ones I’m currently running sakhir orange and just going to store those… so I painted over the beige.. here’s how it looks so far

Looks good! Have you considered the black chrome ambient lighting door card trims vs the silver? I think it would clash less with the blue. Or maybe even have the trims covered in carbon fiber?
