Default Just Ordered GT2 Seats!

Thanks to the other rennlisters on the guidance as to where to purchase. Car has Euro GT3 seats that came with the car, now for sale at Orbit...

The Thorax Airbag and the fact that I can still use the tiny area behind the seats sold me...

$6450.00 shipped from Isringhausen. I'll get the Alcantara inserts on them shortly...

There was a mattress shop that made alcantara inserts for ~$300 but I've had zero luck getting in touch with them. But if they can do it for $300, I'm sure others can as well.

Euro GT3 seats should sell quickly, especially with the beautiful alcantara cussions

Congrats. You will love the seats. I'm glad to hear Isringhausen is still selling the seats at a good price. Some of the used for sale prices around here have been getting me nauseated lately... ($6700?, used?, really?)

Btw, talk to Tony at heritage upholstery for alcantara covers. I'm very happy with mine

Don't expect to get a response from alpha bedding. I tried for months and they never responded. Emails, phone calls, nothing.

BTW my gt2 seats arrive next Monday from the same source, same price as OP Jamie. Going in same time as used GMG bar, 6 pt schroth harnesses, BK sub bars and BK fire extinguisher mount. Will keep GT3 sport adaptive seats stored for a rainy day.

Just ordered mine 10 minutes ago, same price. I should have them in a couple of days. I agree with Joe about the delusional pricing for used sets here. Joe I will be talking to you tomorrow at Thunderhill about those inserts.

Thank you Jamie_GT3

i just talked to them/him - try ted, ted@alphabedding.com, (847) 550-5110, x161. he's a GT3 owner (which is why his non-car related, fabric biz does this "on the side".)

the order number for alcantara inserts in porsche color charcoal grey is GT31080. yes, even tho the part # has GT3 in it, the item is for GT2 seats. i confirmed. $299 shipped. embroidery ("GT2 / 3") on the headrests is $45 per pair.
