Terrible pic but they're in, as of late last night





Better pics coming soon!

Seats are amazing, by they way

Thanks guys. Just found this pic of my car when i bought it:

Wish the quality was the same but i love how subtle the change is to the uneducated eye. These seats will be for sale shortly if anyone has interest.

Is the leather color match good?

Match is very good. A little richer looking then the rest of the interior but I'm not sure yet if that's the color or newness of the leather.

Need to get the car outside for better pics. Unfortunately, one of my shifter box bushings/bearing sleeves crapped out, so i'm trying not to drive the car much until i have a chance to replace them.

"richer" is better than "poorer"! Congrats - Looks great. Wish I could sit in them to check the fit. I'm thinking to go that route as well. Convert my existing seats...Just not sure if those side bolsters would pinch a bit...

I'm not slight of frame (6'5", 230) and had no issue sitting in a fellow Rennlister's 993 sport seats.

Do those extra few inches of seat back cushion bolsters noticeably add comfort or lateral support?
The forward-back power control buttons are gone. Are there now manual levers under the seat cushion?

Yes, extremely comfortable and supportive.

Yes, there are manual levers, which is how all sport seats came from the factory then, 4 way power.

They're narrow. I'm 5'8, 165lbs and they're a perfect fit for me. If you are a big guy, they may pinch. If you're ever in NY, let me know and you're welcome to check them out.

I considered having mine rebuilt, but all the pics of converted/rebuilt seats I saw, looked rebuilt. These look Original. Waldemar really does exceptional work.
