No, I have the supple seats in my car right now. They are regular seats, but covered in supple leather. The soft backs have bigger side bolsters.

JP have you seen their results? This seems like it could be a 'relatively' economic way to get softbacks. Especially if one was about to recover their own seats. Are the skins available from Porsche or do they use an aftermarket supplier - any idea?

Beautiful seats but I doubt they will sell for anywhere near that price.

Btw... You need to be a paid member to sell things on Rennlist.

Spoke with them earlier. They don't modify the seat frames, they just increase the bolster size with high density foam. It is not as pronounced as real sport seats.
