They claim they weigh 6.5kg, so 14.3 pounds each.




Is the blonde for sale too? I'll take one of those.

Looks like they read our board, or lots of us are asking them questions

From eBay posting:
"Please note: These seats are replicas and the authentic GT3 seats cost over $5000, so please don't ask us question like "Is the seat FIA approved?" Many racing seats in the market that cost much more than our seats are not FIA approved either, but it doesn't mean it is not safe. Also we can not and will not put the "Porsche" logo on the seat for you as that will be illegal and considered fake. This is the difference between fake and replica."

Well, I still don't know if the ebay ones are the same "DesignTech" products. The US distributors website isn't very friendly.

You could probably get both of them for the whole weekend for what those rims cost

All I have to say is good luck if you ever need to depend on those seats. They will fold up like a lawn chair with you in it. I dont get it....would you use a replica seatbelt or a replica airbag? The only time you will ever need the engineering behind genuine seats is when your life is on the line...good luck. I am happy with my 'Non Carbon" genuine seats with a Porsche part number and FIA certifcate...Kevin

What?? Those girls only weigh 6.5 kg each? Talk about spinners.

Seriously, what was the followup of this story - where to get a good pair of decent quality GT3 style seats?

There was a group buy here not too long ago. I'd be interested as well...
