Audi RS Sport Bucket Seats | OEM Frame, Complete Set

Audi RS Sport Bucket Seats Designed for owners of Audi RS3, RS4, RS5, TT, and other S-line sport seat owners. Also compatible with the broader Audi A, S, and RS lineup (A4+, A5, A6, A7, A8, S4 through S8, RS3 through RS7, RSQ3 through RSQ8, R8, TT, e-tron GT). This product is a complete pair of front bucket seats, delivered fully assembled. Each seat includes its own structural frame, bottom slider mechanism, headrest, and complete seat body. Built on a genuine Audi OEM frame with a finish of your choice (ABS hydrographic, hand-laid carbon fiber overlay, or pre-preg autoclave-cured carbon fiber). Unlike our Conversion Kit, no upholstery rework is required. Your installer performs a complete seat swap. To install this product, you must work with a qualified installer (a trusted local automotive shop or an individual installer) who can perform seat removal, harness transfer, and any vehicle coding required. Installation typically takes 40 minutes to 2 hours per pair, depending on the number of installers and their experience level. CarbonXtreme does not cover or reimburse any additional labor costs that result from your installer's lack of familiarity with the product. We expect you to set realistic expectations before ordering and to have communicated with your local installer in advance. Installation success depends heavily on your installer's experience. What this product includes: complete pair of front bucket seats (left and right), each with OEM frame, slider rails, headrest, full microfiber upholstery, backshell finish of your choice, and the trim panel hardware. What this product does not include: Main wiring harness (the harness running from the seat floor pickup). You will transfer your original main harness to the new seat. Heating and ventilation branch harnesses connected to those modules remain integrated on our seat. Seat belt buckle. You will need to transfer the seat belt buckle from your original seat to the new seat. Why we ship without the main harness: Audi seat electrical configurations vary significantly across models and model years. The crash sensor alone has five variants across the Audi RS lineup. The illuminated seat belt buckle has four variants. We cannot supply a single "universal" harness that guarantees compatibility with every vehicle. Transferring your original main harness ensures the connectors and signal mapping match your exact vehicle configuration. Important note for 2026 and later RS3 owners (and other recent dual-airbag models): Audi has adopted a dual-airbag seat design on select 2026 and later RS models. Please note your vehicle year and exact model in the order notes before placing your order. We will confirm compatibility with you before production begins. Looking for a more accessible DIY price point? Our Audi RS Bucket Seat Conversion Kit is a parts kit installed onto your existing factory seats, starting at $2,849. Looking for genuine leather (Premium Nappa Leather, Italian Alcantara®, Full-Grain Merino, or Audi German OEM-Sourced)? See our Audi RS Carbon Bucket Seats — OEM Spec, starting at $8,499. Before You Order Read the full product description before placing your order. Bucket seat installation is a custom build, and several configuration choices depend on details of your factory vehicle.

Understanding Your Configuration Options Your seats are configured through three variant selections (Upholstery Material, Backshell Finish, Heating and Ventilation) and several preference fields. This section walks through each option so you know exactly what you are buying. 1. Upholstery Material This product comes in a single premium microfiber upholstery configuration. Microfiber composites are the upper tier of synthetic automotive upholstery, used across premium EV and supercar factory programs. Premium Microfiber Suede. A polyester / polyurethane microfiber composite, finished with a suede nap. The same material category as Alcantara® and Porsche's Race-Tex. Microfiber Nappa-Grain Leather (Animal-Free). A nylon / polyurethane microfiber composite, embossed with a fine Nappa grain. The same material category used in Tesla and Rivian factory vegan interiors. The animal-free profile makes this product the right choice for customers who prefer vegan materials and want a complete bucket seat (frame, rails, electronics included) at a confident mid-tier price point. For genuine leather options (Premium Nappa Leather, Italian Alcantara®, Full-Grain Merino, or Audi German OEM-Sourced), see our Audi RS Carbon Bucket Seats — OEM Spec. For DIY-installed parts-kit options including all four material tiers, see our Audi RS Bucket Seat Conversion Kit. 2. Backshell Finish What this controls: the visible hard shell on the back of the seat. Visible to rear passengers and from outside through the windows. Three construction types across eleven finishes: ABS (Hydrographic Finish) ABS plastic backshell. All ABS finishes, including Matte Black, are applied through hydrographic printing (water-transfer printing). The accessible entry into the kit. ABS Matte Black ($0) ABS Matte Carbon Fiber Hydrographic (+$59) ABS Matte Forged Carbon Hydrographic (+$59) ABS Custom Pattern Hydrographic (Contact Us) (+$99) Hand-Laid Carbon Fiber (Wet-Lay Overlay) Real carbon fiber cloth, hand-laid in multiple layers, cured, and finished with a clear lacquer coat. The visible surface and weave pattern are real carbon fiber. Hand-Laid Carbon Fiber Matte (+$549) Hand-Laid Carbon Fiber Gloss (+$549) Hand-Laid Forged Carbon Fiber (+$649) Hand-Laid Carbon Fiber White Crosshatch (+$799) Hand-Laid Carbon Fiber RR-Style (+$799) Hand-Laid Carbon Fiber Other Premium Pattern (Contact Us) (+$799) Pre-Preg Autoclave-Cured Carbon Fiber Pre-impregnated carbon fiber, autoclave-cured. The same construction method used in OEM Audi carbon parts and motorsport composite components. Lightest weight of the three construction types. Available in matte finish only. Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber Matte (+$1,399) 3. Heating and Ventilation What this controls: which factory electronic functions your new seats support. Without Heating and Ventilation (base). For vehicles without factory heating or ventilation, or owners who do not require those functions. Heating Only (additional cost). Heating elements integrated. For vehicles with factory heating that need to retain function. Ventilation Only (additional cost). Ventilation channels and fans integrated. Requires perforated upholstery. Heating and Ventilation (additional cost). Both functions integrated. Requires perforated upholstery. Important: Your vehicle must already have the factory Heating or Ventilation modules wired for this to work as a plug-and-play swap. If your factory seat did not originally have Heating or Ventilation, ask your installer about retrofit coding compatibility before ordering. We supply hardware only. All coding and local compliance is your installer's responsibility. 4. Quilting Style What this controls: the material layout and stitch pattern of your seat. RS6 GT Style. Suede-forward layout: the seat back and cushion center are upholstered in microfiber suede, with leather on the side bolsters. Honeycomb stitching throughout. Note: perforation is not recommended for this style, as suede center panels do not produce a clean perforation visual. RSQ3 Style. Leather-forward layout: the seat back and cushion center are upholstered in leather, with microfiber suede on the side bolsters. Honeycomb stitching throughout. Custom (describe in notes). In Additional Notes, describe your preferred pattern, your preferred leather-and-suede layout, or any color adjustments. Custom patterns, layouts, or color choices may incur additional cost. We will confirm feasibility and price before processing your order. 5. Headrest Trim Panel What this controls: the plastic trim panel at the "neck" between the headrest and the seat backrest. Twenty-two factory Audi logo options are offered (RS, RS3, RS4, RS5, RS6, RS6 GT, RS7, RS Q3, RS Q5, RS Q8, RS e-tron GT, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8, SQ5, SQ7, SQ8, R8, quattro). Select the logo that matches your model, or any Audi logo you prefer. Custom is free for Audi-family logos. Personalized text and non-Audi logos incur additional cost. Describe your request in Additional Notes. About the production method. Our headrest trim panel is a plastic part finished with applied decal under a clear lacquer coat. This differs from the OEM factory method (silkscreen printing). On close inspection, you may notice slight raised edges around the logo characters. This is normal for this finishing method. If you require factory-correct OEM finish, we can source an original Audi OEM trim panel for you. Reference price: $849 for an RS-style OEM panel. Contact our customer service for the exact price for your chosen logo. 6. Rubber Ring Color What this controls: the color of the two rubber rings that seat between the headrest trim panel and the backshell. Default is Red. Other available colors: Black, Blue, Green. If you want a color outside this list, contact us first to confirm availability. 7. Stitching Color What this controls: the thread color used across the upholstery. Default is Red. Other commonly selected colors: Black, Beige, Silver, Copper, Berry Red. Specify any color in the text field. Two-tone stitching is available on request. Contact our customer service before ordering to confirm pattern and color combination. About color matching. Stitching color is matched as closely as possible to your specification, but exact color matching cannot be guaranteed due to thread supplier batch variation. We always aim for the closest available match. We do not accept return requests based on stitching-color deviation within the same color family. If you require 100% factory-correct color matching, please order the Audi German OEM-Sourced upholstery tier from our Audi RS Carbon Bucket Seats — OEM Spec. 8. Perforation What this controls: whether the seat center panels have perforation holes. Perforated. Holes punched through the center panels. Required for seats with ventilation function. Also chosen for visual or breathability preference. Solid (No Perforation). No holes. Cleaner visual appearance, no ventilation function. Note for suede surfaces: If you select RS6 GT Style in Quilting Style, the seat center will be suede. We do not recommend perforation for this style, as suede materials are thinner than leather and the perforation visual on suede may not meet your expectations. 9. Forged Pattern (visible only when Backshell Finish is Hand-Laid Forged Carbon Fiber) What this controls: the variant of the forged carbon pattern. Forged carbon is made from chopped carbon fiber pieces laid in random orientation, producing an irregular marbled visual. Forged Plain. Standard forged carbon with no color flakes. Forged with White Flake. White flakes mixed into the forged carbon. Forged with Blue Flake. Blue flakes mixed into the forged carbon. Forged with Green Flake. Green flakes mixed into the forged carbon. Two-Door Coupe For Audi two-door coupes where the front seat folds forward for rear access (A5, S5, RS5 Coupe, TT, R8, and similar), see our dedicated Audi R8 Carbon Fiber Folding Bucket Seats. They are built on a genuine Audi OEM folding frame that preserves the fold-forward backrest action these vehicles require. How Installation Works This is a complete-seat swap, simpler than the Conversion Kit retrofit: Your installer removes your factory seats from the vehicle. Your installer transfers the main wiring harness and seat belt buckle from your original seats to our new seats. All connectors are clip-based. No cutting, no splicing. Your installer installs the new seats into the vehicle. Your car's electrical system sees the same connections it always had. Coding may still be required in some configurations, but is not the standard expectation. Your installer will confirm during the install. About choosing an installer. We provide after-sales support to your installer, but we do not recommend ordering if your installer has no prior experience with Audi seat work and vehicle coding. We do not have the customer-service resources to teach your installer how to assemble the seats from zero, step-by-step. If any issues arise during installation, please contact us. Vehicle Compatibility Fits nearly all Audi factory seats and Audi models. For relatively older vehicles or rare models, we recommend contacting our customer service before ordering to confirm fitment. Production & Shipping Production time: 7 to 14 days for standard configurations. Custom finishes or complex configurations may extend this window. We confirm the exact timing with you during pre-production review. Shipping options after production: Complimentary Crated Sea Freight: included | Est. 28 to 42 business days Expedited Ocean Freight: $200 | Est. 14 to 22 business days Air Freight: $950 | Est. 10 to 17 business days DHL Express: $1,700 | Est. 4 to 7 business days Sea freight timelines are estimates. Actual delivery may vary depending on sailing schedules, customs inspection, and routing conditions. We update the estimated delivery window with you once your shipment is booked. Packaging and last-mile delivery: Seats ship in wooden crates. Final delivery is truck-based and the carrier unloads. A crate this size is difficult to move once delivered so choose the address with that in mind. If you would prefer the seats delivered directly to your installation shop, enter the shop address as the shipping address at checkout. Import duties: Duties and customs clearance are covered as part of your shipping rate (no additional fee). Components carrying Audi-branded elements (such as RS logo trim panels) may ship separately (no additional fee) for compliance reasons.
