It definitely takes away our ability to offer any substantial discount, even to our high volume wholesalers. To be honest, if we could get enough people to commit, we might be able to pull off $6500 plus shipping on the leather seats, and a comparable discount off of the cloth seats, but that's really it. Then we face the issue of availability...there might be a half dozen or so in the states, so some people in on the GB might have to wait a month or two to get their seats. Perhaps one day we'll be able to get a killer deal from Porsche on them, like we do on the 996 GT3 seats (which we have priced at over $1000 below dealer cost), but that probably won't be for quite a while (think years instead of months).

Please direct any questions to me directly over PM, email, or phone and I'll be more than happy to help you out!

Thanks guys!

Is there any chance that you could measure where those holes are? For instance, from the bottom corner, are they 2" up and 3" over?

Thanks for your help.

The Lightweights are a better track choice and also provide a lower seating position. Second, why go with GMG bar as opposed to OEM Clubsport bar? Mounts that utilize the rear strut towers seem to me a pre-requisite to any bar.
