Yea I paid 299 USD from Amazon with free overnight shipping and picked it up from a PO box in Blaine the next day. The dollar was low as well back then so the exchange rate was next to nothing. Brought it across and customs did not charge me any duty or other taxes. I was surprised because I declared it at the border and even handed the customs officer the invoice.

The guy asked... Oh neat, is it that vibrating one? I replied... No sir, it's just like a Recaro or Sparco racing seat attached to a frame and you use it with your Playstation or computer. He then said alright, see you. I guess I got lucky? I saved some money right there. haha.

The Playseat Evolution is pretty mod friendly I'd say. It's pretty much made for the Logitech G25 so you can reuse the existing screw holes to mount the pedals. Just get creative and reinforce it so if you are worried about "rat bagging" the pedals they should be good to go if done correctly.

It's not tan, it's white with some black. The lights in my room are not the greatest.
Don't know how much the cloth ones are I remember when I was searching for one they were a bit cheaper though but I don't think by much.
You can get one from smoketronics they have both black and white in stock and its 340.99 plus 50 to ship via Canada Post.

I recommend both G25 or G27 and a Playseats if one can afford it. It's makes the gameplay experience completely different and in my opinion much better and at times may be challenging.
