Default Yellow seats?

Just wondering... does anyone have yellow seats? If so, could you post some pictures? Thanks

Are these yellow enough, lol!
I think these are in a 97 TurboS that had a thread of its own at one point, maybe someone can find it.

Are you referring to seats with hard backs in yellow? Sexiest thing ever.

Here's the only one I've got, which I saved with the name "atan" but I forget if that was his username or what.

Wow! I like yellow but even that might be a bit too much yellow for me. However, I am thrilled other people like it so the world is just a little bit more interesting.

I think this question is best asked in Racing sub-forum. They will happily share pictures and often videos of the seat turning yellow (or brown, depending on the situation).

Not a fan but whatever floats your boat. Kind of reminds me of this guy:

I remember when the 2nd post car was for sale a couple years ago. I think it originally was specced for a jazz musician I had heard. At the time it was listed in the low $200's.

Had to be an ordering mistake, owner wanted yellow hardback sport seats and the sales rep checked the wrong box. Because who orders yellow leather?!!

Ahhh that's where I saw it. I think it's freaking cool. I wonder what it sold for back then?

I think it's cool too. That was clearly a "If you have to ask, you can't afford it" car.

That was Alvin (Atan888). He was located in the Bay area. He bought a kid named Adam's (RufC4S) yellow 4S and went nuts on it. He modded the hell out of it, with most of the work done by a shop called S-Car-Go. If I remember correctly, while a ton of time and money was spent, the car looked good, but never ran right. He sold it and moved on. I recall seeing it pop up at a meet somewhere a few years back, but that it still wasn't running correctly.

Actually, here's a link if you're interested in more history:
