Where to get GT3 seats with painted backs?

I haven't had a chance to ask the dealer since it's a weekend, but is it a factory option to get painted seat backs on the GT3 seats? Can this be ordered through the dealer, and if so, what's the cost?

Alternately, where are you guys getting your painted GT3 seats from? I have seen a number with silver, yellow, etc.

I'd like to get some with painted arctic silver backs. At the minimum, I'd like the loops/handles painted silver - are those easily removable to send to someone like Eric at Bumperplugs if I just end up getting black seats?

Thanks

So am I. I suspect the dealer is going to want a bundle for those seats. I'm sure somebody makes an aftermarket seat that looks the same for less than half the price.

Please add me to the list as well. I have been looking for a set of sport seats with power and heat option for a while now. Anybody does after market seats for our cars also would have these. Please contact me if you have a set in graphite grey, power and heat option. Thanks.

The nonpainted GT3 seats are really pretty reasonable. $2500-3000 brand new in leather for a pair. I am just hoping I can get some painted silver ones for not much more than that.

Yes and any competent body shop can spray and clear the backs, too...it's not a big deal.

There is a company located in the East Coast that do this type of service. $399 for both. Price can be negotiate if there is a group thing.

Your local bodyshop can do it too.
