Question After Market Race Seats(USA)

Hey all,
I need your help again, fortunately I am pretty sure you can help.
I am looking either Recaro or Sparco style race seats from an after-market supplier, the only catch is, I am looking for suppliers in the USA.
I know Sakatsu and a few others have these seats available in either white metal or resin, I just can't find a vendor in North America.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, be it a website or even store name and address.

Thanks everyone.

Ray

Actually, trying to help myself, I need some for my Renault Megane project and now is as good a time as any to get them
I found a set, but I am not happy with them, they were HoppinHydros ones and I want ones like you get with Tamiya Rally kits.....

A personal preference, I like to support US stores before I branch overseas, if I can't get anything from the USA, then obviously I have to consider other options.
I hope that makes sense?

Okay, does Tamiya America, Inc. count?

They have some nice seats... you just need to know the part numbers... 1-800-TAMIYA-A

Yes they do Jay, I thought about that, that was one of my last resorts actually, since I would have to buy a complete sprue tree.
In all honesty, I think that is the best way to go......I have enough Rally kits here to find a part number off of and even to decide which tree would have the most parts I could use on it.

Thanks Chris, I didn't know that.
I heard from Mr Rosser, but it was only to tell me he will get back to me
How far are you from him? I need somebody to......hmmm......forget it:evillaugh
What all does the transkit include? fender arches, seats, roll cage? anything for the interior?
