Talked to an Importer from Elite JDM in Philadelphia named Nick D’Alessio. Heard of this company from other forums and they loved how clean and legit his halfcuts, engines, interior and exterior parts where. He also has lightly used aftermarket parts all for sale. If there isn't something that he has and you wanted. He can just about find it for you as soon as he makes the next trip to Japan.

I had him scout S15 rear seats back 3 months ago. I wanted absolute mint rear seats he could find with S15 sun visors. Took him less than a month and found a person who is selling it off of his 17k old Silvia. The seller wanted $450 including shipping for those seats. Nick told me he found cheaper rear seats but not as clean as this one. I asked Nick if he could talk to the seller about throwing in a pair of S15 sun visors with hardware and we can call it a deal. The seller agreed and off it shipped to Nick's loading container with the rest of his stuff in Japan, to be sailed cross seas to the U.S. Of course I had to pay to ship it to my door step afterwords.

Finally, 3 months waiting I just got it today and I love it. Nothing wrong with the rear seats or visors. Everything MINT as expected. Can't wait till spring comes around and my 240 out of storage to put these in. Total cost was a little over $600. More than half of the cost was in shipping. I'm sure any one can find these cheaper. I might be crazy to spend this price but in the end, its what I wanted for my car and that is to my own preference. If you have the money for something extra, spend how ever you like.

Note: I did not know s15 rear seats can be folded down by pushing a button behind the rear seat from the trunk. Very nice feature.

Thanks guys! You can find him at http://www.elitejdm.com

Please don't take this personally. I'm sure he has a lot of legit requests and plenty of others backing out like most people I personally dealt with, when I want to sell parts. Make sure to have cash on the spot to pay upfront. BE very flexible with unexpected extra cost and shipping. And most important, expect to wait a long time to get parts depending on the rarity and condition you want the item to be. He is doing ALL personal requests on HIS own TIME. Be very considerate. Nothing kills a personal business relationship if you are pestering the importer. He is good, very knowledgeable and honest. Nick started doing personal requests because customers took care of him and never backed out and he continued to take care of them and has given other people opportunity to do the same.

Note: Don't expect to have him find/sell it for you cheep. It's his price. You gotta pay to play.

Truth.... Nick goes to Japan and pick out what he brings back, only good stuff. Others just order stuff blindly.

This thread made me go through my box of "crap" and of course I had a pair of S15 sun visors. Long story short I decided to install them into my S14. This was more work than what I thought, but well worth the hassle. You will need to mix and match the parts to make it work, but they look soooo much better than the stock ones!

I can't wait to see the S15 seats...I wanted to do this but never found some to buy. S15 door sills are going in next.
