Breast Cancer awareness bucket seats? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Gillams · 10-15-2014, 09:52 PM

I am looking to get breast cancer awareness bucket seats. I have yet to find a company making such a product.

If a company doesn't make them for general sale, would they do a custom seat? probably

if so
What company would be best to start looking into as far as getting them made?

any help in my search would be greatly appreciated.

Ummm sounds like you should be emailing companies like status. They have highly customizable bucket seats.

Honestly though, is anyone not actually aware of breast cancer? And Susan G. Komen is shady as fuck.

I think everyone is aware, but being so common. It provides a support system for people, the whole awareness bit.
Large corporations are always shady.
Using them or the idea they have established, being that it's so well known, allows people who wouldn't normally connect the opportunity to do so.

Couldn't you just get seat covers and have them embroidered

I believe Takata will make seats with custom embroidered logos and stitching of your choice. It might end up costing around $5000-6000 though.

What do you want them for?

gramicci101 · 10-16-2014, 02:08 PM

Any decent auto upholstery/interior shop should be able to take a seat and reskin them to be whatever color you want. You don't necessarily need a pink seat straight from Recaro or Bride. I would suggest you buy the seats you want, and then have them redone by an interior place.

This is a strange thread.

I breast cancer awareness bumper sticker sounds cheaper and more effective. Problem solved.

yep, my ex's mother was a survivor, and encouraged others to donate to other charities. I don't really remember why, but she despised them.

Something like 15% of their money goes to research and the CEO makes $400K a year. It's a business venture disguised as a nonprofit organization. Plus, it's a relatively minor, pretty survivable cancer, as far as cancers go. There are other cancers that are much more serious and deadly that get no funding or attention because they're not flashy and about boobies.

I agree just put sticker on bumper and donate your money to the foundation.

Plastidip your rims pink? Saw it on a asphalt BMW do it for breast cancer awareness and it looks pretty damn nice!

Rallysport has some products on the subject if you really must.

Take the money you were going to spend on the seats and donate it to the thing you're trying to raise awareness for
