Default Miss out on LWB seats? We've got you covered.

Seen here in a 991 GT3 prepared by 311RS, we're proud to launch our new 311RS Recaro bucket seat. These seats feature a factory-like cover design built utilizing OEM Porsche interior materials - leather, alcantara, fabrics, & thread. The result? A lightweight, supportive, bucket seat that looks and feels like it came with the car from the Zuffenhausen.







The seats shown are Recaro's Profi XL model. The driver of this particular 991 GT3 is 6'4", which meant he needed a larger bucket to fit him properly. Recaro Profi XLs fit nicely on large and small frames alike. For compact drivers, we also offer the Recaro Pole position seat with this same treatment.

Below is a quick rundown of the seats on offer, with more info on our website here - http://www.311rs.com/product-release...-recaro-seats/

311RS-spec Recaro bucket seat
- Available in Recaro Profi XL & Pole Position models
- Available in most OEM Porsche materials - leather, alcantara, fabrics, & stitching
- Vintage Porsche leather, tartan, houndstooth, etc. also available
- Embroidery & embossing options for headrest (shown 311RS logo)
- Seat cover designed & built in USA
- Available at $6,360/pair plus shipping
- Single seat orders available at $3,180
- Available sliding seat bases start at $750
- Each Recaro seat from 311RS is built to order. Please contact us for current lead time.

A few more pictures are below. If you have any questions about the seats, by all means just ask. Cheers from Minnesota.

Seats appear nice but instead of fancy teaser photos can we get some solid pics of lower sections that matter and full shots of where lower belts come through?

The seats were arrived and were installed just before we headed to the latest track day. Here are a few shots of these seats themselves (shot on iPhone).

Great looking seats but still will be dealing with the airbag light.

~$4300 for the pair? If the leatherwork is as good as it looks that's a really good deal even without mounting hardware. Leather work is NOT cheap.

Which is an easy three minutes dealer fix or on your own time with a Dura Pro.
