If one wanted to really splurge, these are only €4900.

Those seats would look perfect in a 968 with deviating grey interior (Like Jeff's old car).

Honestly, it looks just like any other non-adjustable racing bucket seat, not like it's got some kind of distinctive Porsche styling. Who would ever know that it's not just some aftermarket Sparco or maybe Recaro? By which logic, you could just get a NEW Sparco or Recaro for less

Clubsport seats are very similar to Recaro Pole Positions.

Yeah, it really is. Huh. 750-ish per seat, and Sparco has similar models for similar price.

Like I said, for very nearly twice the price, it's hard to understand the draw of something that has honestly nothing to distinguish it as a Porsche OEM item. But hey, some people are really into exact-original everything, so let's hope it makes some perfectionist really happy

They are a lot more comfortable than a normal recaro.
