My wife said the same thing about previous 911's and other cars as well. She said,"They just hold you in place" (referring to the material as well). I know this has changed recently, and she likes the new seats as well. I don't think she would like the BE seats... something just telling me. She wants a gunmetal on black GT-R Premium (for herself). The big selling point for me, is whether or not the NISMO comes out with all of those little winglets n' stuff. I think it looks like the GT-R always should have looked.

Did you get a Black Edition? Big difference in the seats.

He has a 2010 - no BE yet.

In fact, the only trim level that year was the Premium, I think.

I hate the seats in my 2014 - Premium. The seat bolsters are too narrow.

Anyone have pics of the Recaro Sportster seats installed?

Bummer! I'll need to bump my thread! I thought it was really only an issue with the BE Recaros.

I love this, I post ON a negative thread about GTR's and I get negative rep points! I've gotten more positive rep points from my GTR thread than any other thread I've ever made...

Seats are definitely a preference.

The GT-R is a sore spot for quite a lot of Porsche owners. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why. There are some deeper issues that this brings to the surface.

Not to go to those deeper issues, I would make one observation. In my '12 BE, the passenger seat was VERY comfortable. It was perfect. One of the few production cars I know of that has a different passengers seat and drivers seat. Of course there is no way to swap them but if there was...

Gtr seats do look bad...but unbelievably comfortable..I did a rally from sf to la. Two day event...my *** never hurt...I am 6'2 so that's what I can share...get your stock seats redone with dif material or design....the new 2013 look really nice

personally I don't think that the GTR seats are uncomfortable but I'm used to Porsche adaptive sport seats and there's really no comparison. Porsche *** seats are more comfortable in every way.
