$15-16k just like it costs us for fixed buckets. It’s probably the single most expensive mod outside of OEM PCCB’s.

The good thing is seats never depreciate, when you sell you always get your money back. So really it’s just money put away.

It is tempting! These fix the two big issues I had with the 918 buckets - foldable and they are heated. What color T would you get if you get a .2?

Shame they’re only available in black with no colour stitch

the curse of the black hole low quality metro train Carrera T interior continues

Seems longer you wait, the more options become available - I wonder if they’ll be another heritage like interior option coming

TIme to find ones on resell or from COPART or a wrecked car in a few months to years! At least that would be at a somewhat discount. But I do like what I see!

I'm getting them in my incoming GT3T and wish I had the option for 918s like Carreras do. Much prefer them.
I have GT2s on another car and would switch them for CGTs in a flash.

With buckets (918 fixed or new folding buckets) there is no option for deviated stitching & if you want to spec rear seats with the folding buckets the front and rear seat material is mismatched - plaid rear seats but no plaid on the buckets. That is strange.

Why not allow for deviated stitching to give the interior some interest and why not match the plaid front and rear (or allow for other fabric front and rear)

configurator forces sport seats for these options ^

It is strange.

Porsche is still ironing out the finer details with their new supplier for these seats. It would also be nice to have the gloss CF trim to help tie-in the buckets.

I have 4-ways with plaid T interior + deviated stitching & rear seats with matte CF trim.

I personally wouldn’t want mismatched seats AND mismatched CF… AND no deviated stitching.

That’s three strikes…

You could just purchase the OEM gloss CF trim. I have seen it in many GT3’s.

This. Irritated me that I couldn’t get gloss CF trim to match my seats so I just ordered them and installed them. Much happier.

Scenario. Your car spins, impacts a tree or guardrail post rear-end first. In a foldable seat, the back breaks at the pivot point and your helmet strikes the roll bar with force- you're dead, Fred.

As bad as my OCD is the matte carbon mixed with gloss carbon works for me. Adds some interest / diff texture so its cool. But… would be nice to have more options on the T!

Given these Turbonite gas caps are new, it will probably take a few months before they are available as orderable parts.

Check back with Suncoast parts in two months.
