Thank you to everyone who posted pics and their experiences with Garry. I just experienced the same great service this week from him and made my purchase. Looking forward to getting my black/white houndstooth inserts.

I'm interested in the black and white 50/50 OEM-like material (similar to 911R) for my incoming GT3T. From what I heard from Garry a month ago he was out and trying to source more. Did you end up ordering a set with this material?

Thanks in advance.

I just went with his classic black and white material. I wanted the black/silver stuff but he said he’s out of it.

I don't think there's any video of that, and it would be difficult to take. There are some still images a few pages back in post #230 of this thread by rrmcg of the little white fasteners in the passenger seat bottom, which show their location in the rear of the passenger bucket bottom and close-ups of the shape of the hook on their top that reveals how they fasten to the thin little bar embedded in the foam of the seat bottom (which is shown in another image), so you can figure out how to unhook them by lifting the bottom insert carefully and spreading the hook from around the bar properly, but I wouldn't worry about them--I never bothered to put mine back in while changing the insert covers and it hasn't been a problem in nearly 4 years of use now. The velcro positions the seat bottom securely without any help from those clips, and they would be just as hard to refasten as they are to unfasten.
YMMV,
TT
p.s.
There is a video on Garry's site of how to install the new covers on the foam pieces that is informative, however.

I emailed Gary and asked if he could supply inserts for sport seats with no reply. This question was asked in this thread earlier and I was wondering if anyone else got an answer?

Ping him a few more times, it took about 2 emails from me before he replied. Maybe also try messaging him on instagram - https://www.instagram.com/classic_fx_porsche/

I'm still waiting for him to restock the 911R fabric, in the meantime (as posted above) i was able to purchase a set from another RLer who had a spare set of inserts.

My guess is he is off for the holiday as most of Europe seems to shut down for two weeks at the end of the year. Thinking of doing inserts in leather. Anyone done that yet?

hi all,

I see many of you change the standard alcantara insert with pepita design.....honestly yes nice however I do prefer the standard alcantara without GT3 stripes.
As I own a standard GT3 and the inlets has the stripes I dont like, is some of you interested to sell me the standard alcantara insert also the one from the RS or GT4 without stripes (I do have 918 seats fixed)

thanks .....

Hi,
Wanted to share my recent experiences with Garry... (Classic FX). First I wanted to say that the communication between him and I was excellent, especially considering the time difference. He made every effort to ensure I was aware of the costs and various timelines. He was upfront about everything. I chose the Carrera T Sport-Tex material to spruce up my RS’s Alcantara seat inserts...a slight premium in cost, but the end results were worth it (for me). Fit and finished were perfect...the attention to detail is clear. The YouTube video he sent made it very easy to complete the installation...
Thanks Garry!!!!
