I've always said that the CS wheel install was one of the best mods I've done to my car-and lack of Porsche badge isn't a bad thing-virtually every factory one I've seen has the badge imprint not straight on the wheel.

Here are the replica 968 CS buckets we can get:



Beni now has these fitted in his 951 and they look great

I will get some more pictures later.

Drool! They have the ribs like the originals...

Do tell us more! Inquiring minds want to know!

Cloth and leather available?
Unpainted / painted backs?

I don't have the full details yet but I think they only come in black cloth and the FRP backs are standard black but can obviously as the picture above indicates be painted to match the exterior of the car as the covers are easy to remove.

As soon as I know more on weight, availability and price I will post back. The original CS seats which were discontinued quite a long time ago are now extremely sort after and in the UK will add at least £1k to the value of a 968 fitted with them.

I have seen the original's exchaning hands on ebay for close to £1.4k so these replicas will be a true bargin and you will be hard pushed to tell the difference

I'd simply love to see a set of these in a cab

We will be fitting a set in our maritime blue project 968 soon.

Very tasty!

I am way more than okay with cloth... Can't wait for pricing and all other info.

Thanks!

Having ridden in them in the UK I can say that a cab is a better proposition, at least as far as getting in and out of the car.

Since when did your 68 become a DD? Do it!

Which cushion do these have, SPG style foam or CS 'pirelli mat' suspended?

Wow, VERY interested in both products! Anyone know how much weight you drop going from the standard seats (mine are the 944's / early 1994) to the CS seats?

Also, what is the price to the US? Or did I miss something...

Between this and the new chip it seems all too good to be true!

Adding to the list of people that want more info on the seats. Are they available now? Can we do a group buy?

Interested in the seats as well - was looking for something like that before I bought my current seats.

Same here...
Wonder if the wheel and/or the seats are available in a burgundy?
