Anyone else despise the stripe on the .2GT3 LWBs?

Wow its a surprisingly polarizing subject. For me the stripes were one of the major reasons I went for a Touring - I think they are hideous, and at the time I didn't think they could be removed. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Makes the world more interesting!

So - if these come already with the cushions is it easy just to take out the stock and insert these?
Yes they are complete replacements so you can switch them out and keep your stock inserts in perfect condition.

The fabric is quite thick and an OEM or higher grade fabric designed for seating. Texture is similar to 911R. For my exact setup you'd be looking at $2,200 I believe but you should confirm directly with Rstrada.

I could do without stripe, the biggest crime is that touring LWB inserts not offered on the GT3 versions?

I am on the "like the stripes" camp. Then again, I have a GT Silver car, so the stripes are a perfect match

Funny - I have my brand new RS for sale that is GT silver with a ton spent on Guards Red accents - I think these would look awesome with my black deviated stitching too . I'm tempted to buy a set as a means to help sell the car - they are beautiful !!

I used to hate the stripes at first. But I saw them in person and they grew on me. Not to say the Houndstooth isn't nice. Just not sure it's as sporty. Like it more on the touring.

Sounds like a great option, especially if it includes the cushions as well. Thanks for the info.

Def interesting!

Just to clarify, The cushions are new so the OEM one can be stored as new. You can swap them anytime. It will never hurt by having both sets around.

Four Liter,
Your RS is gorgeous! I think you're right about how nice those would look in the car.

This is Rennlist. Everything can be polarizing.

I like both options. I assume the stripe woukd grow on me, but i find the houndstooth very tasteful.

Looks classy like something RUF would do. I hope its made out of seat belt material like the seats in my 50th 911 were. That will
last a lifetime
