//Speedart// Porsche GT3 Style Carbon Fiber Seats



$2162.00 + shipping



It is a Recaro GT3 style but not original Recaro. The cover is visual carbon and the seats are in real leather. The quality is very good (please see pictures attached). They will fit 986, 996 997 and all 987 Cayman + Boxster. For 997 + 987 you will need an additonal cable to delete the side airbag function in the original seats. These are sold as a Pair for $185.

those are really nice looking replica recaro's. but.. why get replica when you can get the real deal for $2595?

http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/me...ry_Code=996int

This is a set of Black Leather GT3 seats. These easily replace your stock seats, and are perfect for around town or on the track. Significantly lighter than stock seats. No modifications are necessary, these use the existing mounting points. These are compatible with the factory racing harness sets as well as the standard 3-point seat belts. These come directly from Porsche, and are made by Recaro.

*** for models with Advanced Airbags (2006 or newer), the seat airbags & weight sensor will have to be disabled by your local dealer. This will deactivate the airbag warning light on your instrument cluster. LIMITED TIME PRICING, no further discounts apply.

oem 996 gt3 euro seats made by recaro dont have CF backing. but i think the replicas that you have are overlay anyways right? "The cover is visual carbon "

anycase.. the replica price is so close to the oem one.. if it were let's say 1/2 the price then i could see people doing it

They are not overlay, everything from speedart is 100%. But I have a feeling those real seats you claim are replicas too.

I've seen these "carbon" seats in person. IMO complete junk. Sorry to the OP.

How can you ASSUME I have not seen these first hand? You know what they say about assuming! Disrespectful is selling junk that's almost the same price as factory seats Question about the seats: are they TUV approved? I know the originals are.
