What makes the SPX Special Edition different from a standard sport seat?

It combines perforated and smooth Italian leather with an Alcantara suede center section for grip and control, finished with hand-stitched grey or red thread and an embroidered Sparco logo. It's also available with a choice of gloss or matte carbon fiber backrests for a more customized aesthetic.

What is the seat construction actually made from?

The backrest is ergonomic carbon fiber, while the lower section uses an RTM composite, an advanced material that shares carbon fiber's lightweight, high-strength properties. Together they make this the lightest carbon fiber reclining seat on the market while still providing stability under extreme lateral loads.

Can I fold the seat forward, and is it adjustable?

Yes. The backrest folds forward via a leather pull strap for easier access to rear seating or storage, and it includes a micro-adjustment knob for fine-tuning your driving position.

Does this listing include both sides of the seat?

No. This is sold as a single left-side seat only. If you need the matching passenger's side, the right seat is sold separately.

Is this item in stock?

Yes. There is currently 1 unit in stock and ready to ship.

Sparco SPX Special Edition Seat in Matte Carbon w/ Gray Stitch (left) [00974ZMTNRGRSX]

Sparco designs and engineers some of the most advanced sport seats in the world. In 1998, Sparco developed the first adjustable carbon fiber seat for supercars, debuting in the Lamborghini Diablo. Since then, Sparco’s designs and technology have been featured in numerous supercars, including the Bugatti Veyron and Lamborghini Aventador. Beyond sport seats, Sparco manufactures carbon fiber components such as body panels, bumpers, roofs, and aerodynamic parts. The company also produces structural carbon fiber elements, including stressed member engine cradles and various chassis components. Meeting the rigorous safety and durability requirements for OEM manufacturers, Sparco’s expertise in carbon fiber technology positions it as a Tier One supplier for brands like Alfa Romeo, AMG, Aston Martin, Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Ferrari, Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, and Lotus.

The SPX Special Edition

The SPX Special Edition features a combination of perforated and smooth Italian leather for a luxurious appearance. The center section is covered in Alcantara suede to provide superior grip and enhance the driving experience. Hand stitching is available in either grey or red, complemented by a black-embroidered Sparco logo for a refined finish. The gloss or matte carbon fiber backrest includes a leather pull strap for folding the seat forward, allowing access to the rear area. Additionally, the backrest is equipped with a micro-adjustment knob, enabling precise customization of the driving position. The SPX is available in both driver and passenger versions, with left and right configurations.

The SPX

Handcrafted in Italy, the SPX utilizes the same materials and technologies as those used for OEM supercars.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
