That 3rd gen isn't in the best shape, I've seen better pics but can't find them right now...

Leather when properly cared for won't wrinkle, and if they do, you can remove the wrinkles. Cloth looks good, but stains easier, and over time breaks down pretty bad.

I've seen factory leather in a car from the 50's and it still looked great as the guy cared for it. That's not a typo...

Not to hijack the thread... but is the Turbo-R the only model that came with Recaro option?

If so, I'm assuming that Recaro's on USDM cars were all imported as JDM items...?

Don't see too many around.

USDM MKIIIs did not have the Recaro interior option. Recaro interiors in the US were imported.

Correct on both counts. Only the 2.5GT Twin Turbo R (TTR) came with the recaro seats, and all USDM ones just took them out of JDM TTRs.
