Default Aftermarket Carbon Fiber Seats

Interested in possibly upgrading the seats with Recaro Podium or Tillett seats. Any issues with the install, fitment, etc.? Not sure if these seats will fit a 2016 f-type r coupe…I know the brackets / sliders would be needed. tuning would be required for the airbag codes.

You might be able to fake the airbag with a resister or special module. I'm sure it's been done, but I don't recall actually hearing about it.

I ended up buying the Recaro Podiums seats in red along with the VAP brackets and recaro rails/sliders. I did speak with an R owner in the Facebook groups who recommended a resistor kit sold on eBay… waiting for that to come in. I’ll update once the resistors come in.
