Default 918 Bucket Style Seat Inserts

Hello Rennlist Community,

For those who are interested, in addition to our extensive modular leather parts catalog, we also offer special seat tailoring options as well. For the GT4/GT3/RS/918/SPYDER/911R models, we offer optional replacement seat inserts for those who are interested.

LWB SEAT insert options the include:

- OEM style Alcantara inserts (contrasting colors available)
- 911R style Houndstooth inserts (Pepita)
- 918 style Leather inserts (perforated/contrasting color available)
- Bespoke designed inserts (special request: additional patterns/deviated stitching)

Please PM for inquiry regarding our Light Weight Bucket seat inserts. The same OEM quality that we implement on our popular leather options are evident in this service. These seat inserts (backrest and bottom cushion) are easily removable.

Note: All modular pieces for all models are not currently on our site, please PM for any request not seen.

Bingo! You've just cornered the market and addressed a need which we were all finding ad-hoc solutions for. You just decreased Porsche's CXX seat charge business by 99%. Maybe a few will still enjoy the pleasure of spending $8500 for Porsche's seat customization including piping and contrasting leather, but for most of us, this is fantastic.

Are you doing just the covers or the entire seat including foam?

Can you answer CAlexio's question - I want to know, too.

Are you offering a slipcover type product? Meaning: you sell the outer fabric cover but I use my OEM cushion, and put your cover over it? Or are you offering the covered cushion? Meaning - I remove my OEM seat insert, and replace it with your OEM insert?

Trying to understand exactly what you are offering. Thanks

We are offering two options:

1. For those who wish to keep their current inserts for future use, we can ship new inserts (remove OEM inserts and replace with Exclusive Option inserts)

or

2. Submit original insert to our facility to be redone in one of the selected options above.

How about list all the options/prices. It would really cut down on questions as many of us want to know. Does it show on your website?

I wanted to a post few pics of the interior swap I recently completed. I picked up the low mileage 16” GT3RS in the color and spec I was looking for....except the Silver Alcantara package. I was up to removing door panels and armrest, change out the console lid and finish it off with the Executive Option seat covers. Frank was great to work with. Great communication throughout the process which for me is the key. The Purple Beast is now right

All,

I’ve really had it with these Exclusive Option guys and with the rest of the community here constantly comparing what Exclusive Option offers to Porsche’s CXX custom seat option that is over $8500.

First, Exclusive Option continues to post advertising threads like this here without disclosing pricing, despite multiple requests. Why? Because they’re embarrassed to say how much they’re charging (about $2500). Or, is that that they want to be able to fleece people of PM them at will by quoting whatever pricing they want on a whim based on what they think the person they’re talking to is willing to pay? Why the secrecy guys!?

Second, Porsche offers CXX seat inserts from factory for $3555 in choice of houndstooth, alcantara, etc. NOT $8500+. The more expensive option not only includes the inserts but also your choice of custom leathers on the bolsters, custom stitching or piping, and custom embroidery on the leather headrests. So the comparison is not $2500 v $8500+ as gets repeated falsely over and over here AND in Exclusive Option’s one intentionally deceptive and false description of their product.

Third, Exclusive Option’s product is NOT a Porsche factory part nor is it even identical to the material Porsche uses, just similar. If that’s good enough for you, and if you’re willing to go through the hassle of switching out your factory seat pieces for theirs to save $1,000 over the cost of getting factory original ones from Porsche as part of the MSRP of your car, more power to you. But for Chrissake, don’t delude yourself into thinking you’re saving $5,000+, as you are NOT, and stop shilling for these guys! And stop propagating this LIE, Exclusive Option folks!
