GT3 seats are made by Recaro...so they compare quite well...

a bunch of us did a group buy a while back through foreign affairs. I think we paid about 2300/set. Great service too.

Any others??? Copy the list paste it with your name added...

Raygr... I have regular Sport Seats now they are very good looking seats but they do not hold you like the GT3 seats. I sat in a couple pairs of GT3 seats not only are they comfy to sit in they hold you SNUG and secure! They are a Recaro seat BTW.

cjv, if you can beat $2500/pair, I'm in. I am assuming your price includes all mounting hardware, sliders, etc.?

when can we expect delivery?

I also paid an additional 300 to paint the openings silver to match body color. Too bad I placed the order 10 days ago before this group buy thread.

300.00 to paint the openings?!?!?!?

No offense, but that's ridiculous. Those little pieces just come right out and can be done at any body shop for 50.00- 100.00 max. Oh well..it's done and over with.

lcheng2 got the seats from me & yes that was my price. in fact, the $300 was also the exact amount i paid for the bodyshop for the top quality work. btw, this is including the CA tax, which suxs!

if this GB works out i'll take 3 sets. too bad my price wasn't this good.

BCS, for what little it may be worth, I don't think that $300 is out of line. If you have a good shop that will in fact do the job right for 50 - 100, please let us all know who they are so we can all get in on that smok'n price

Why would you pay $3500 when they are advertised in Excellence by vendors for $2500 a pair? Thats highway robbery and I am shocked being from a board sponsor.

I don't think Arling has ever done a "highway robbery"! I don't think thats an appropriate name on how you should call him. He is a very nice guy, as I mentioned before, he sold the Techart springs for a really good price to me... 200+ bucks cheaper than what bydesign offered me...

again, I don't think thats polite to call it highway robbery since he had done so much to everyone of us! Giving good prices and services.

Not trying to flame you but it is very impolite. peacee...

Please, let's not jump to conclusions about anyone. I have found different vendors have different costs. The price Foreign Affairs had a couple months ago was below what people like S Car Go could buy the seats for. Stephen has somewhat said the same thing in his above reply. I don't believe any sponsor is ripping anyone off. If this gets blown out of proportion, everyone could lose.
