GT2 seatsa worthy upgrade for a 996?

Just bought a 4s 996 and it just so happens a local guy has some GT2 seats for sale. My car has heated full electric seats, the GT2 seats are electric recline but manual no heat.

Curious of what you guys thought about picking them up? He has a really good price from what I can tell and they are in perfect shape.

Worthy upgrade, or money better spent elsewhere? At what price are they a worthy upgrade?

Thanks for any input

The GT2 seats will be lighter but how much I don;t know. The real decision maker is how are you going to use the car? If you are just cruising around then let comfort be your guide.
I figure that the GT2 seats offer more/larger bolsters to hold you in during spirited driving or at the track.

I can;t speak about the price.

I cant send PMs yet. Seats looked nice. They were removed from his GT2 in 2007 and in the garage ever since. Some small scuffs on the back of the seats (in the plastic area) but nothing major. They looked like clean seats for 10 years old.

Still interested?

Having trouble getting more pics to attach but these are the seats. Attachment 181332

Should be the sport seats. Not sure if they are what your looking for as I am new to the Porsche world.
