Carbon Fiber Mod for Porsche GT3 Seats

OK so this one was neither cheap nor all that easy to get done but a while back I had the idea to try and get the GT3 seats inserts done in Carbon Fiber. Since I'm going all-ouf CF for Hot Import Nights I thought I'd show you the results, which came out pretty cool....

Turn around-time is 3-4 weeks and the issue is you can't actually buy the inserts without the seats so those of that want to get this done will need send me the inserts and go from there... The price isn't settled but it'll be about 500-550 PER seat.
