Up for sale is a nice set of hard back sports seats . Hard backs are painted in Glacier White so it is an easy plug and play for the Glacier White owners. 4-Way seats in good working order. Driver side shoulder bolster is worn and needs repair otherwise these are in perfect condition. . $4000 firm.

Could the hardback mystique be wearing off? Is today the day?

I think they look sweet!

Customized shell color may be limiting the buyer pool...imo. I sold a pair this past Spring that were in excellent shape with no bolster wear and heated to a buyer in Hong Kong for $4200 - excluding shipping.

I had my backs professionally removed by an auto upholster and painted for $350. That should not be that big of a concern when paying $4000 for the seats.

Timing, timing, timing. Damn, .......I want these for my cab. Those backs would look amazing painted Guards Red. Just can't throw 4 large at seats right now.

That same four grand would easily do a euro turbo nose job, basket handle-ectomy and split grill install.

Nice seats, GLWS

I still can't believe people will pay $800.00 for a RSD. Supply VS demand.

+4000. If the past few years is any indicator, I'm guessing that they'll hold their value pretty well, but I can't imagine them getting much more expensive.

I'm curious if, in general, the 993 sport seats are the most expensive Porsche sport seats on the market right now (aside from the specialty seats like the RS seats). Early 911 sports seats maybe? Did they even have 356 sport seats???

$4000 seems to be the number lately. Little lower or higher depending on heat or bolster wear.

I sold my soul for mine, I hope the values don't drop anytime soon.
