What is so special abouth the Recaros? I see that they may give more support...but from the perspective of a DD, how do they help?
Are they more comfortable?

Damn, that is more than I paid for my GT3 seats for my Cayman S!! I think Ferrari's have cheaper seats than that...

you can take it out...I took mine...it is actually a piece of plastic inserted in the taillight...but it takes some work...I took out the taillight, cut it, took out the red plastic and glue it back...now look exactly as an american-japanese model...

so... if that window sticker is in swiss franks, that car is priced at 57,000+ US dollars. no wonder why they can have they recaros. has anyone ever priced out a jdm model. the zurich car has bbs package and nav, so it would be 40-41k here. but then they get the good jdm motor with twin scroll also and other fun goodies that we don't have. for 16k difference i'd say they can have all the extra stuff. i'm happy with what we get here fr the money.

You canīt convert it directly over to USD and slap a "overpriced" sticker on it. It just doesnīt work that way.

My Spec.R will be priced around 70.000 USD if converted directly.

No... EDM has the same engine as USDM.
