Interesting thread on Rennlist concerning a chap based opposite the factory who can supply hardback seats, factory spec, using Porsche leather for $5.5k. Any colour painted backs and leather. Pictures look impressive. He seems to have whipped the 993 board there into a frenzy! Quoted one guy $200 for shipping to Texas from Germany which sounds reasonable.

Smoke and mirrors chum. I hope the heat over there hasn't boiled your head. :hand:
Where is he getting the seat frames from I wonder to make up all these sets :dont know: Sound more like. 'Lookie likeys'
ETA I've just seen them
They are a 'modified' standard frame seat to accept his custom built hardbacks which can be carbon fibre.
Look like a bargain but Illuminati will be all over the frame with a Colini stick to check authenticity.
Although our US chums appear to have filled his order book for the next 12 months if I was in the market I'd certainly look into them at the price. New foam/padding/leather/heat option what's not to like :thumb:
I'm going to ask him him for a price for the covers to re-upholster a spare set of wide bolster 964 I've got in the shed

Hardly factory hard backs. Home made hard backs would be a closer description.
Aren't these the ones that have popped up a few times on eBay and were purchased by our very own jonttt?
It's a neat little enterprise for sure. I wonder what his margin is like on them.

I blame the heat :roll:
I couldn't access this thread last night due to a 'critical error, could not access database' and I did wonder if the Illuminati were at work trying to block access :hand:
These seats not for me old chum until I pick up my 993 for 25 bags first :grin:
I think the chap has an Instagram account :dont know:

Here is my original thread buried deep in my journal :thumb:
There was a "story" to it as one turned up damaged but to be fair to the guy he replaced with no hassle or cost to me. He did sell a number of these on both German and English eBay some with plastic and some with carbon backs.

Ps from memory I paid £3,500 for them and about £90 for delivery to the UK. Of course that was in the heady days well before brexit when the £ was worth X1.3+ euro :hand:
