Mounts. sliders, and adapter prices each or for the pair? Also, are the seats comfortable? How big/small are you? My shoulders don't fit in GT3 seats, yours look a little wider up top. And what's the shell? Painted body color?

You're right, some alcantara inserts would be pimp.

The Status seats are not as wide at the GT3 Euro seat. They are working on some that will be, and I don't think they are out yet, but the standard will be a much tighter fit all around

Yeah the new wider one is coming out in March I believe, Im 5'10" 200lbs I fit right in, then again, people that see me think im 175lb.

the shell is FRP (painted black), I was going to go with the CF but the strength is very close. Weight is just a few grams off too. But eventually I might go to Kevlar if something happens to the seats.

to get a better idea of the price I can give you my friends' number

How do the airbags work with the OEM seats or doesn't it? I am really interested in sport seats so I can have harness installed so any information would be greatly appreciated. Is there a weight savings over the factory electric seats? I would think half the weight due to all the drive motors and all.

I think I saved around 100lbs just in seats, the sideairbags still work.

speaking of weight savings, I just purchased nearly new black leather recaro sport toplines and wonder what they weigh and if my car will end up lighter after the swap. the recaro sight has no weight specs listed for their seats....
anyone know the weight of these beauties?
they were briefly in a 993 so I assume I'll need new brackets as well. guess I'll find out when they get here.
very sharp seats Alex..

So your saying you don't have driver and passenger airbags but side impact still works is that correct? Is there a way you can have all the air bags work and have the OEM seats.

All the airbags work, yes of course it will work with OEM seats, it worked from factory
