    Of course, for those of us who've dropped orders of magnitude more cash on our cars than we could ever get back in a sale, the "RS" stands for "real suckers". :lol:

    I think that's down to customer spec. Mine started from the same basic F-Type seat but I don't think mine could be described as indistinct.

    I did the same thing; had Type-F seats, had Nakamae-san re-shape the headrest and then cover in quilted leather. Top-shelf, for sure, but they also cost $5K for the pair.
