Interesting to note that in general OEM car seats are more expensive than the car engine in that car. http://goo.gl/s6vjC
Certainly seem true for Porsche sports seats!

Pretty famous story of the SVO Mustang debacle-- Ford called Recaro for seats and were told they were $800. They greenlighted the project, and called back for the seats. They were $800...each.

welcome to Porsche.
L.A. Porsche Dismantlers had 993 sports seats in great condition, for $8 k. my second choice in seats were the Sparco Milanos in leather. when the chance came to get my Sparcos at a better price (shortly after the panic of '08), i jumped. just couldn't justify $8 K when i could have better seats for less $$$.

im going to look into whats involved with the conversion, have someone local perform that part, get a 2nd mortgage and buy some covers(just kidding...) and then recover in my own time... i think thats the only economical solution...
