Does anyone have painted seats that aren't the cars main color?

If so please post a picture. I would love to see it. Actually please post any painted seat pictures.

I'm making a crucial decision on my build. Thanks.

Look at empunker's new speedster. It looks great! OK well, it's not the seat back, but you could extrapolate...

Well this is not good. I had a really custom spec planned. Had everything all planned out. I mean everything.

Without going into to much detail, I was going to have my car built with seat backs that are not the cars exterior color.

My dealer got back to me and said, it's not possible. I then searched and searched the internet to show photos of what I had seen. Can't find them.........at least not for a 911.

This is throwing a wrench in my entire build. And I wanna get this done as I want a gts, and don't want a 991.

I think you could easily achieve your plan with a good independent paint/body shop, but if you want it done at the factory (which I don't blame you one bit if you did) I guess you are in for a challenge.

these seat backs went from beige to black body color...if they can be taken from beige to black they can be taken from the body color to anything else...

I painted mine the same color (white) so my picture won't help but i will make a suggestion . On my black car I did paint my center console to match the door handle and I did consider doing the same for the seat backs . I felt it was subtle enough to provide a nice contrast . The door handle color is so neutral that it's the same on every car.

To be honest, I am not sure. I would check MACarbon. They have a lot of things for Porsche. Ive seen a picture that they have of the GT2 with a CF seat back. but i think thats factory.
