I think these have come up a few times, still trying to stumble across the right buyer.

And the red backs would really limit buyers I would think... Need to have a red car or willing to repaint, etc

^ you'd have to shell out double the cash if you could swing it... something for the wife too.
Are they really worth that much, we are starting to get into the price range for a really nice entry level 911

This seller is the licensed car dealer guy with the stereo shop. I talked to him once. It was weird.

Cactus, paging Mr. Cactus. Please pick up the Guards Red, 993 shaped courtesy phone and have your credit card information ready.

Those are not RS seats, and they are insanely overpriced! Original RS seats are very similar to Recaro Pole Position, the seats here look like regular Porsche hard back sport seats.
And the 4 or 5 original 993 Carrera RS imported to the US (Jerry Seinfeld has one) would most likely stay original as collectors cars.

These seats are 993 RS items. The RS originally came with three seat options:

1. Items like those posted in the ad which are basically 993 Hardback Sport Seats without power adjustment and with grey centres. No cost option on 993 RS "comfort" model (M002).

2. Leather covered Recaro bucket type seats (similar to Pole Positions) as you mentioned, again with grey leather centres. Standard on 993 RS "comfort" model (M002).

3. Fabric covered Recaro bucket type seats (again similar to Recaro Pole Positions). Standard fitment on 993 RS Clubsport (M003).
