I don't like how the center cushion is squared off. Replicas must be a certain % different from an original to be protected from lawsuits so that's where the change is.

it's not bad. the top section of the inserts look a little weird but ones you're seated, you'll look ballerish like they were $12k seats. bet they will hold up just the same as the oem...or maybe not. i don't see any mention of how much it weighs.

Here is what my wife would say(Not that you want my wife feedback). She would say your driving a $130,000 car. Put the 12K dollar seats in it. I do love her.....

Check out these replicas. Carbon fiber too. And the price is good.

those look identical to the other replicas. note the square centers vs the round centers on the oem.

That's such a crazy price for a pair of CF seats and seat mounts.

Those seats scare me. It feels like you don't know what you are going to get.
Are they really true carbon fiber shells?
Remember the old saying...you get what you pay for.

Question 997GT3 Replica Seats

Anyone know what make are these?
997CarreraS mentioned "ppl' - is 'ppl' a manufacturer or brand?
I picked up a set of 996 GT3 'custom oem Grey' seats (on eBay).
They have "PFModify" stitchings on top & came wrapped in "ppl" plastic bags.
Anyone knows who "PFModify" & "PPL' is?
