If only they were arctic silver, I would have bought them in a heartbeat!

Have the backs painted....

Whoa those are the seats I am looking for......hmmm.....must resist...but...damn.....those would look HOT in my ride.....

Do it! Do it! DO IT!!!!

Actually, it's the yellow stitching that's holding me back. Just wouldn't fit my car at all, like you said, I can always repaint the backs of the seats but the stitching.......

Just wanted to let you guys know that the seats are still available.

Bump, in case anyone is in the market...

Nice seats...I have to same ones...except mine are Arctic Silver, heated and no stitching. Painted seat backs are a MUST HAVE if you own a Cab. PERIOD.

If only that baby delivery would have been cheaper!!! This year no 19 inch rims, no bucket seats, no other mods, no sleep! (wait that has nothing to do with my P!) love those seat...and newport...they will go great with your yellow calipers!!! DO IT DO IT!!!

Do it Newport, I need someone to envy this week! Think of cruising with the top down, black on black, yellow calipers, yellow backed gt3 seats!!! Like Whoa!

speed demon get these! painted sport seats are a MUST period

Newport.... its got your name on it... bust out the piggy bank

You guys are WRONG....damn...how can I sneak those in without the wife seeing?....hmmmm.....

LOL, Thats the dilemma I have every time I buy a new item! Or where can I find a quick gift on delivery day!!!!

LOL...yes....my rims actually sat in my office for a week...lol...

Ben, yep I looked at these and I know the seller too. I do like them a lot but after this past weekend's outing to Thunderhill Raceway and going around the track at speed in a GT3, I think I need more lateral support than what these seats offer, although these would provide more support than my current seats. racingfan, what do you think about the lateral support of these seats you are selling and utilizing them on the track?

Do it Demon, Do it, Imagine rolling down the road in your speed yellow carrera, with speed yellow backed gt3 seats. What a bad influence I am....

You are very bad My wife is already up in arms with me for buying the new wheels, tyres and suspension, so trying to go with another upgrade is going to be tough. But the honest truth here about these seats and 'my' car, you will not see them 90+% of the time. The only time is when I open the door or have someone look in it when it is parked. You will not see them from the outside because my windows are tinted. I also will then be inclined to paint the center console etc. the same colour so that it brings everything together. I didn't buy this car to be a 'show car' so having painted this and painted that on the inside is not important to me. At this moment I am considering adding a rollbar, harness etc. as I want to track it, so my money is going to go into those areas (safety first). Again these are nice seats and if I was going a different direction with my car then maybe.

Somebody buck up and buy these bad boys. Remember the GOLDEN RULE of marriage - it is always easier to ask forgivness than permission. Now somebody act like you got two beans in your bad and buy these seats! heheheheeh.

because you have speed yellow it's going to pop when u open that door and look in much more so than my conservative arctic silver. you already have a pretty boy 911 with them siq bling OZ 3 wheels... now you're telling me you need more lateral support for your track ventures? the stock 911 seats are lame, imo. they're literally flat and very dated looking. and you could always untint your ride. it'll be much cheaper to have your car be more of a street pimpin car than a track ***** anyways. bro, u know i wouldn't do you wrong, but i may be doing your wife wrong by trying to convince u to get these.

I didnt get all of that ^^ but +1.

What I really like about these seats is the matching yellow stiching as well. Will look awesome in Speed's car. Forget about the tints and the roll bar and go for the seats. Not every day you are going to see these up for sale and at the same time matches the car perfectly.

You guys are killing me OK so I PM'd the seller, again I know him and so I asked him a lot about them and what I plan on doing with my car. I will let you all know what I decide, OK

speed... get the gt3 seats, they are practically the same price, you can also paint the back as well. The gt3 seats are very comfortable and is my favorite performance mod... it is night and day on the street and track... my .02 cents.

Go Speed, you can do it!!!!! Ha ha! Thats why these cars are so expensive, its not the base price, its the price of peer pressure after the fact......

Hey thanks for the feedback, so they give enough lateral support and will accomodate a 5/6-point harness? Or is the harness over-kill in your eyes?

if i wanted them i'd have them so don't get me confused, but those "hammock" seats look weird in the 911. plus for a street car i already have trouble getting into the sport seats... and being comfortable. can't imagine with those. i'm sure they work pretty good, but if you're going for race, there's gotta be better (e.g. recaro aftermarket).

If your gonna track 2-3/year, harness will help you get attached to the seats... plus they are alot safer the the 3 point stockers... theyre removable anyway. I would go with the 6 point harness... not overkill... safety is never over-kill in my eyes.

Yep if I do track it will be 2/3 times a year. I love a harness and roll-bar/cage (as my Mustang has it and I do like to be safe) and I am not too worried about not getting into the back of the car and that. So I really need to make sure that if I get these seats that I can use a 6 point harness with them. I would really prefer to use a harness and not the 3 point factory seatbelt, I do not feel that safe with them if I am to track the car even if it is now and then. In my Mustang I have Sparco Pro 2000's which have the high side lips and lateral supports, but it is really a pain in the **** to get in and out of so I have to really think hard if I want to go that far with this car. So I guess these seats are in the middle of street and track, is that how you see it?

i got used to climbing in and out of these, its not that bad since my car is lowered... Yes, street and track. Once on the track youll never go back and can live with it, for me anyway... plus you can easily resell them. Sorry for jacking the thread...peace

Thats how I see it, although I do not personally have them, I have a buddy with them and although it is different getting in, it is not difficult. The rear seat access is difficult on the other hand, but its practically a rear storage area anyway, as anyone over 5 yrs cant fit back there!!!!!

Thanks guys much appreciated feedback. Not worried about the back area at all, no kids. So I will be looking at a rollbar also eventaully but maybe start with the seats.

SpeedDemon, I responded to your pm. But for everyone else's information (and safety), I want to share a bit of what I just pm'd. The sport seats are not recommended for use with harnesses. If you want to install a bar and harness, then you should get seats that have the holes built-in for harness pass through (and a pass-through for an anti-submarine belt in the seat cushion). For example, without the pass through holes that hold the harnesses in the correct position on your shoulders, the harnesses have to pass around the back of the seat and, consequently, they may slide off your shoulders in an accident. In fact, it's my understanding that as of January 2008, you will not pass safety inspection at a PCA DE trying to use harnesses without seats that have the pass-throughs. In any event, thanks to everyone for the interest expressed in these seats. They are pretty sweet. So if anyone -- who is not planning on using a harness -- is interested, please let me know. Cheers.

I have to give you credit...... Pointing out how particular features of your item wont work with mods a potential buyer said he may be moving toward, even though it may effect the sale to that person takes good character traits. Good man, I particularly appreciate the honesty! Cheers!

Thanks for the PM and I just replied. Thanks for explaining to me, and the others, how these seats can be used in more detail and that they will not meet my future needs, your honesty is much appreciated my friend. They are beautiful seats as you say, and I have thought about buying them a couple of times now, but I am sure you will find a buyer eventually. GL with the sale and if I have any leads for them I will let you know

Monthly bump...still available

damn I just bought something else instead.....
