I have a set of 18 ways with red stitching and would be interested in swapping.
There has been a previous post from GMG saying the swap is possible. May want to give them a call to ask.
Seats are in Irvine, CA

That's exactly what I want to do. If you do it please advise of any issues and maybe post pics with the mismatched seats. I'm in no real hurry but I occasionally browse the parts marketplace for 4-ways.

Reviving an old thread. Did you swap the headrest from “GT4” logo to GT3? Where did you get them from?
This seems about right in my experience, at least for 4/18 way -> LWBS. I spec'd my 991.2 GT3 with the standard 4 way sport seats plus and decided too late that I wanted LWBS instead. Turns out it was a blessing because I made full use of the rear space for my euro delivery with luggage, but now that the car is in California I never use it. Bought OEM LWBS from a fellow local Rennlister who took them off his GT4. Dealer install was plug and play to take out my 4 way sofas and install LWBS.
The cost is not because of the labor or parts specifically, but the seats themselves most likely. I know that the bucket seats, if you wanted to order them from Porsche as a part (not with the car), will cost about $25k. Porsche will charge you an arm and a leg for OEM replacement seats. Your best bet would be to put up a WTB ad in the classifieds and hope a RLer has a set for sale. I just sold my 4 way sport seats today actually to a another Rennlister!
