In 2000 I purchaed my 99 Cab with Savannah Beige interior and since then I've been looking for the perfect set of heated beige sport seats. Well if I had black interior that would have been simple but Savannah beige is rare, and beige sports seats is very rare, and heated beige sport seats... .well you all get it

Thanks to a board member named Don I found the perfect set, he had purchaed the seats for his car but never installed them before selling it. The seats were purchased from a Porsche swap meet, the owner of the seats mentioned that they were heated but Don wasn't 100% sure as he couldn't verify that. So I rolled the dice and sent him the money, a week later they arrived and ready for their makeover.

Pics of the beige backs with coat hanger holes and cutouts for the leather pouch in the back.





I removed the backs and sent them to my bodyshop for painting. I wanted the coat hanger hole filled in and all of the holes for the bottom pouch. This is what they looked like after..



So now the fun begins, lucky for me they turned out to be HEATED, I was very excited about that, so I did some research and found this great write up on wiring heated seats in non prewired cars. Dennis Vogel wrote up a very detailed DIY that I followed to a T, thanks Dennis!

Since the seats were already heated I just needed to do the wiring in the car, I thought this would be simple but it definitely took some time, the hardest part was getting to and pulling out the relay box. Some pics along the way...






All done and installed..

Wow Kevin!

Every time I think you can't do more to make your car look better you do. You've setup your car in a very classy way and it looks awesome! Not overdone but just right!!

 

Seats are NICE!!! But why didn't you get a batwing with the cut-outs? The sideways graphic would drive me crazy.

 

wow those seats look sharp....& nice ride....

 

Looks nice!

 

Thank you guys I appreciate the compliments.
The reason I didn't get the batwing is because I like my coustom carbon Batwing with the 911 logo. You can see it in the interior shot.

 

nice one
