Default Feeler thread for GT2 Folding Bucket Seat bolster covers like the one pictured

Hi All ..
I have had a few Rennlist members that have asked me if I would consider making bolster covers for these seats...
Pictured below




These would be similar the protective bolster covers I currently offer for the 918, GT3, GT3RS and GT4's current seats.





I am posting this thread to gauge what kind of interest there might be out there in making these protective covers for the older GT 2, etc.... folding seats ?
There would be a significant cost associated to develop something this, so I would like to see if it is worthwhile to pursue ...?
I would also like ( for those in the know, what cars these seats were offered on, and what years ?
Please let me know your thoughts
TIA
Kind regards
Ed

There was a "rumor" that the new GT3 would offer these folding seats however nothing is on the configurator. Any news?

I believe the seat in that GT3, is going to be like or the 918 seat vs this GT2 type seat ( at least from the pictures I saw, at the Geneva show )

I think that they are not available in the USA because they can't be adjusted in height.

They are available in Europe, at least.

Default LWB seat bolster

Hi Eddie,

im interested in the 997 LWB bolsters which you posted on the 991 forums. I would also post this on the 997 GT2/GT3 boards.

What would be the price if enough enough people are interested. The stitching on my 2011 RS is the standard whitish gray stitching.

Thanks!
Amar

Hi Jamie
When you say orange are you referring to Lava Orange ?
I am going to be posting a picture in a few mins of the just finished prototype

Wow those are sweet
Jamie
Please email a picture of the seats to ed@pencom.com
I only found one Orange thread on the Porsche color chart ( My German sucks )
If that fails, I can just send you a sample of the Lava Orange I have here.
I am betting it's that, as I didn't see any other orange on the chart
