For those looking for natural brown leather sport seats...

nrauto has a sport seat conversion for stock 996 seats.

I have been searching for natural brown leather sport seats for a long time and have never found any.

nrauto sells the seat backs to convert our seats to sport seats. These are seat backs so the stock seat controls are maintained.

The problem is the color. Since Natural brown is not a stock color, it would need to be special ordered from Germany.

I'd like to know who would be interested in this item so I can convince mrauto to make a few sets of these.

Also, pricing would decrease since no leather would be wasted.

It could run about $2000 for these seat backs. I am more then willing to get these since I really want the sport seat look and feel.

Might be interested. Anyone know how hard it is to exchange seat backs, and are there any tradeoffs?

I don't know how hard it is. I might have my local interior shop do it.

I just talked with Brian at nrauto...sounds like a good option for those of us stuck with non-sports seats and still wanting to access the rear area behind the seats.

Any more interest. Looks as though the cost would be around $1,700/pair...plus some cost at an seat shop to assemble.

I just called Meridian...they do not carry this. Also, I just talked with the owner of Nrauto (Neal) and he is finding out the availability of the seat conversion kit in Natural Leather Brown. Anyone else interested?
