GT3 Seats install?

Anyone got the link for the DIY instructions? Do I need the brain to keep the airbag/seatbelt light from coming on?

TIA

Heya lord, make SURE that before you do anything to pull the negative off of the battery. And then when you disconnect the seat harnesses to plug them back in correctly so that you don't get the airbag light Otherwise it's basically four bolts and some care:P

Does anyone know a good upholstery place that can redo the cushion inserts in Socal?





Sharky - Thanks for the info. I actually didnt get a chance to read it til after..but luckily I didnt get the airbag light on. I pulled the key off the ignition tho.


Joe - What's monkeyman?


Statman - LMU should've beaten Gonzaga, dude.


Thanks,

Lord, Yeah, still not sure how they lost that lead...just like the Bruins did to the Zags last night.

BTW, you can get GT3 inserts here:

Lord,

Where do you recommend buying the GT3 seats from? If you don't mind, how much did they set you back? How long for the instal? I think I'm out of questions.

Give sunsetimports a call too. They might be a little cheaper, although they may have to be ordered.

Now where is my +REP?

Kevin - These are my second set and I got it used from a private owner. My first set I bought at Brandywine for $2500 shipped. The install took extra time because I had to take-out the gt3 seats from the seller's car. Normally it should take about 45minutes.

unfortunately, i'm in a hunt for a skinnier (or someone with an eating disorder) untalented actress since the gt3 seat can only fit those types...no more JLo booty girls for me

First off, I can fix your back. . . www.DrMarshOnline.com tee hee hee
(I am the official Doc for the Mind Over Motor Sports Race Team)

Also I got my seats re-done in Sorrento Valley (San Diego at 5/805 merge) at AR-Jays. Ask for John Buckley and tell him I sent you. HE was more than fair and excellent work too... (he is the main go to guy for Pioneer Porsche here in SD as well)

Sounds like a perfect opportunity for a road trip eh?

thanks for the info, doc. my back was actually hurting from the install (not from sitting on the gt3 seats). may i ask...what did the re-upholster cost you? i was in SD last weekend...i wish i would've known this info then.
