Go stock back or carbon and have them wrapped in yellow. That gives you options down the road

The more the contrast between exterior and interior color, the more I recommend painting the backs to body color. Doesn't make sense with a black/black or silver/gray car. In your case the grey can be a bit drab so the yellow brightens up the interior. Wrapping is a good option as long as quality is commensurate with paint. That being said I know Waldemar offers the painted back option when building the seats; not sure if he does wrapping to.

What craftsmanship! Can someone confirm if the pricing is inclusive of shipping?

The shop is located near the Porsche factory in Frankfurt. Prices include shipping. Waldemar wrapped the backs in XPel per my request, and wrapped them again in plastic as he does with all the seats to protect the paint during shipment. Heated seats are available for an additional $500 or so.
I agree with U7t2P7, contrasting colors best warrants painted hardbacks. My arctic silver C2S has gray seats, and I'm in no hurry to paint the backs silver.
dbf73 - beautiful car! If I were buying new HB seats for that car I would seriously consider switching over to black leather seats, and painting the hardbacks in speed yellow. That black and yellow has to be one of my favorite combinations!

Aventurine and cashmere....painted of course! It will make those seats pop. The leather comes from the OEM supplier and should be a perfect match. My only concern is that the seats look SO GOOD I may need to pull up and replace all the interior carpeting to look as nice as the seats.
