It amazes me how many people are willing to put untested safety critical items like seats in their car just to get the "cool" look without any concern for safety. Sort of like wearing a fake Rolex except that won't kill you. Plus there is the liability exposure if you were involved in an accident involving bodily harm. In our litigious society, an attorney would have a field day with your replica seat. Sorry guys, just my opinion.
My thoughts, exactly! IMO, use OEM Porsche/Recaro or leave the seats alone...

Expert composites guy taught me a few things about how the composite would fail and what I could do about it. Basically, I was on the right track with bonding the washers but he gave me some important tips I never would have realized. I'm going to get these seats to where I am much more comfortable using them.

Geez an alarming call to those looking at picking up RotTEC seats. The flexing of the rails just doesn't sound right. I was actually looking into it for my MINI. Anyway I put in a set of OEM 997 Sports Seats in my 996TT, they feel so damn good and I feel safe. I hope you get your issues figured out on your seats.
