Locked mine in yesterday - went with LWB’s. it seems the majority of ordered cars are non LWB’s and all dealer ordered cars are non LWB’s as well (and no Manuals) at my dealer.
What colour did you go with? I went with GT Silver. I’ll swap out the seat inserts with Houndstooth when it arrives. I’m looking at a January delivery - what about you?

Nearly the same specification although I have no RAS and no front lift ordered for the T. I am trying to keep the cost down as I have PCCB’s as well. I do have LWB’s (and front lift) on my GT3.2 though and love the seats. I purchased the Pepita inserts from RStrada and they are great. Literally 2 mins to pull out and swap over. I have red houndstooth in the GT3 and will either do black and white or black and yellow in the T.

My SA is telling me that to add just houndstooth LWB inserts is going to require full custom seats and will be around $8500 to do. This is what Porsche Exclusive is telling him.
I’ve heard of several Rennlisters with the houndstooth added for $3550 I think, without having to specify full custom seats.
No way I’d do $8500 because I don’t want anything else custom like colored leather or piping. The only reason I’d splurge and pay $3550 is because it is factory and will be on the window sticker. But even that is pushing it.
Anyone have any recent experience with this? I’m probably better off sending Garry at Classic FX a message, or even going with Exclusive Option. Both are a lot cheaper but I worry about durability and look.

Sounds good - stay in touch. Mine should be here by Jan. I gather yours is from Willoughby (I am Sth Sydney but have purchased from Willoughby before).

I've got a set of Agate/Geyser on the way in a couple weeks from Garry for my Spyder. I'll post up some pics once I get them installed.

While not Houndstooth, I did get my new tartan inserts from Arling at RStrada and finally got around to installing them this weekend. They look terrific and the quality is superb. RStrada was great to work with and look forward to doing so again on another project.

anyone have any update on costs/process of going with factory houndstooth/pepita inserts? i am planning on doing 4 way seats on my GT3T with the leather backs. i am interested in doing the houndstooth inserts as well, but not sure how much additional it costs or if it allows me to change the stitching color as well. any advice appreciated. thanks!
