Default seats

Perfect!!!

I'm also a big fan of the Genuine Porsche RS/Speedster seats.

Here some shots in my 968, Speedster and RS America:

I'm not kidding when I say the red shift boot makes that interior almost as much as those seats. Badass on both accounts.

Yup. thats my buddy in San Diego. Probably an unmatched collection of cars I want. Top-notch guy as well.

So, I can still squeeze a bodyboard behind the seats. Thats a good thing in case of emergencies (Malibu this afternoon was 4-6ft). Otherwise, I ditched the rear seats with a carpet fix coming soon. Then a Heigo bar to finish it off. Still debating an airbag wheel. I have a thick option 3 spoke wheel sitting in my garage.

OMG. Upgrade freefall! You do realise that cars like mine and yours will be worth LESS than un molested original examples (as they left the factory) in 10 years time dont you LOL! No point preaching to the converted. My solace is "its for life" :-). Oh well, its only money I say!

Still playing with seating position, but man are they nice. Anyone have experience with Leatherique? I just want to condition them a bit. Not bother with all the sanding, dying, etc.

I recommend lexol. Gave my RS seats the Lexol treatment a few weeks ago for the first time. The thing I really like is that it doesn't leave a shiny residue and absorbs straight into the leather. The finish is matt and is great as a mild conditioner. Keeps the leather supple and provides a little UV protection.

I've used Leatherique in the past and it's pretty good. It's also pretty expensive. I got some stuff from the chemical guys yesterday that I'm going to try tomorrow. Here's a link to it (no affil.):

I like their products, they're local and they are very reasonable. I'll let you know how it works out.

Don't do it. The RS wheel is dead-nuts on.

True, but airBags are useful sometimes.

Love the RS wheel. But I've put 10,000 miles on this year. Canyon roads, lots of revs, etc. Might need to use that airbag. you never know..

OK guys... I also want to fit genuine RS seats and I have actually found a set hidden in a secret location but they guys wants top dollar (actually top Euro - 3500). They're dark blue leather and dark blue backs (both almost black) in very good condition. These would match my midnight metallic blue very nicely.

What do you think they're worth? I have prices all over the place... everything from 1400euro (that was two years ago -damn!) to $8000USD
