I finally got round to installing the seats I bought last year so here's my contribution to this thread. The seat are from a Cayman re-upholstered in Marble Grey to match my stock interior. I also used the heated seat control module, switch and harness from my stock seats to run the heaters on the new seats.

whaaaaaaaaaaaaat!
Who the hell ever heard of Caymen HB sport Seats, not like it rolls off the tongue or anything...not that they look "anything" like 993 HB sport seats either-nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
Next thing ya know, Rudy will be cornering the market on these babies too(shhhh, put me down for a set in black old friend)
Do they REALLY look that much like the vaulted 993 version?
Without "googling" them, are they cheap too?
$hit, probably readily available heated too.
I really gotta go back to checking this forum more infrequently. Damn Subie forum's are full of too many boosted folk-normally aspirated fool here, and folk that think adding stickers are a mod*.
*-well, we all know and accept that rennlist stickers are a true mod, but those Subie folk are just plain nuts.

The Cayman HB seats are essentially the same as the 997 HB sport seats. The only difference I could see between mine and a 997 sport seat was the shape of the seat back release **** (which I think had 987 part number prefixes). All the other parts had 997 part number prefixes.
The 997 HB seats are way cheaper than the 993 ones, and I find that they fit me better as well. Usually the manual adjustment ones I've seen advertised are listed for $1400-1500. The ones that I installed are the manual seats (manual fore-aft adjustment, electric back rest adjustment). When I was researching this last year it seemed that no one had installed a power 997 seat due to the complexity of getting the control module to work.
