Sport seats
Porsche produced 4,242 968s coupes and cabs for the North Amercian market.
Of those, 855 coupes/cabs were of the 94.5/95 variety with the 993 style seats and other associated changes.
Of those, less then 40 of both the coupes and cabs had the 383/387 sport seat option so you have a challenging search in front of you my friend. If you add interior color it will get even worse.

Ditto, although a few members here would have you think different. Afterall, it is something they attempted to use against people in the past.
Back on topic, seats are tuff to find for these cars. I've been searching for light grey Sport Seats (full cloth or with cloth inserts) for nearly 4 1/2 years. The closest i've found were light grey comfort seats with cloth inserts. (i have light grey leather comfort seats in my car now).
And now that i removed the rear seats and replaced them with Cab Cubbies (light grey to match the rest of my carpet), i would take midnight blue sport seats as well (my interior is deviating midnight blue over light grey). I've seen a set in a silver '95 low mileage MO30 car that was sold by RS Barn some time ago.

I don't understand why people would spend literally years searching for original sport seats when you can have some standards seats converted that will be the right color and with new leather vs unknown leather condition.
Only 40 968's with late sport seats though Jeff!

I'm debating on Recaro's and have been for some time but keep holding out in the event i find the seats i really want. And with my luck, they will pop up the day after i install a set of Recaro's.

Personally, i'd rather have Original seats & Cloth with Porsche script (Not leather). I really don't care if they are early or late seats, as long as they are cloth sport seats (or with cloth inserts) in light grey or dark blue.
