Default 996 hard back seats

Just fitted a pair of 996 hard back wing seats, weigh a lot, lot less and way more comfortable than the standard 'sports' or 'comforts'.

russ, I passed on the import seats only because I got a cracking deal on these 996 seats, px mine plus cash. The guy in germany mailed me a few days ago saying he does have black alcantara seats now in stock, €250 inc rails and delivery. However, you might want to check out Porsche breakers 'round our manor' business is very slack

Dark now, I'll post some pics tomorrow

Were they from http://www.porsch-apart.co.uk/ ? - I got mine from there, used but in really good condition. Because my 911 is LHD the seat is practically new

let me know when you've got yours fitted and we'll hook up.

Jerry, half the reason for posting... what to do the backs in - Red, black, carbon fibre fabric, or black leather?

I would go body colour!

Is that the OEM 993 RS steering wheel? Is it smaller and thicker than stock?

They look very nice! I would also suggest body color if you intend to keep them for a long time. If you want to sell them however, black would be the best option.
