Has anyone fitted these recliners from Design 911. When I was up there last week I had a look at the Alcantara ones they looked great. The chap there said that I would have to get a bracket constructed to fit them properly. They are such great value I am seriously considering them but would appreciate any feed back from anyone who has actually fitted them.
you shouldn't remove the brackets of the seats,even try and turnaround the front ones as they will still not match , well certainly not remove the rear ones otherwise the system will collapse ....well you can always put it back put its a pain !

hi,
i fitted 997 hard backs.. the kit supplied by fvd (no affiliation) worked without any problems. the seats sit a bit higher and the space between the top of the seat and the roof liner is tighter.. but the fit, comfort are in my opinion much superior to the original 964 seats.. i tried the964 sports seats , amazing fit but i went with the 997s for a more defined and modern but not over the top look.. another reason was availabilty and geographic location, the 997s came up for sale at an amazing price so i snapped them , after reupholstering in black nappa and painting the hardbacks.. here's the result

I got the estimate back from Heritage Trim for converting the stock and mildly worn seats into new Sport seats. $2580 all in. I was hoping for something closer to half that and must have misunderstood my first phone call with Heritage. That's a bit much for me...
