    I'm King Daddy UJ... and I think those are FUGLY.

    Now... if they had the proprietary Blimey Shadow Jack treatment... hmmmm.

    Oh good, this should help me with the ugliest 2011 build thread:D

    In the right car (i.e. not one with the overdone UJ theme thing going on), those could probably be pulled off if a subtler, more downplayed pallete was used instead of just using the basic bright colors.

    Then it is a basic Recaro CS model. Looks like the Union Jack version has an airbag module tacked on the side as well beyond the basic CS model. Being the CS retails for about $1500 I'd hate to think what these "minified" ones will cost.

    Exactly! (OMG - Blimey and Rally agree on something aesthetic. lol)

    If you replace the white with black in Rally's rendition, that's the "Shadow Jack" theme I speak of. Although I'd go even more muted if possible.

    And that would rock in my car when I loose the back seat and factory roll hoops and put my real roll bar in.

    When I worked in the Semi industry...

    I did a lot of applications support and production issues troubleshooting. Anyway, one couldn't say "You're a effin' idiot!" so I started using the more polite phrase "I'm sure that you realize that is a non-optimal deployment topology..."

    In that vane, these Recaros have a "non-optimal graphics application."
