They may add a bit more weight to already heavy 993 seats, IMO.
hmmm would they feel weird or out of place in a 993? And yes iv'e see his engavings, absolutely beautiful. From the Porsche script logo throughout the middle of the seats, to the crest on the headrest.......Art

I don't think they'd look out of place, except maybe to one of the rabid and diehard 993 fanatics.

I wonder if a shop could custom fabricate up some 928-like center sections for the stock 993 seats

Ed, depending on the degree of rabidity, this may be the only thing that would look right.

We'll have to ask Finn, those Scandinavians can be very rabid...

Edit done on original post



@Quadcammer: Ah understood, but aren't there moments where you'd like the sun to peer in the roof of the car without actually having to open the roof?

On standard seats in a 993, the seat back rear lower corner/hinge covers have a 928 part number. If you don't have sport seats you better start shooting!
