Wow .. things have gone up! I actually saw Sid's seats yesterday .. he had Finishline convert standard seats to hardbacks for his RufBTR Cab and they're beautiful. I think that type of conversion will be close to the cost of a used set of hardbacks but you're getting a brand new seat .. rebuilt frame, new foam, new leather, new hardbacks, not a used, scuffed worn out seat.

I'll be interested to see what Tony at Autobahn has to say .. he told me he'd converted a few standard sets to softback sportseats and had no problem with it. Also, Paul Champagne down by Chorpus Christi in Texas does hardback conversions as well .. somebody here had a pair done recently by him IIRC.

Can 944t sport seat backs bolt to normal 993 seat bottoms or just 968/964? I know the stitching is different.

The seats are even more special when they have the embossed Porsche crest in the headrest!

Does anyone have a list of the part numbers needed to convert regular seats to HB sport seats? I have looked and cant seem to find it. Thanks!

Hi

If you are reasonably slim the old style softback sports seats are really good. Mych better than the comfort version IMHO, especially in a car that is otherwise agressive looking.

Here are mine

Actually the seat covers from GAHH are $2018 for sport seats. Has anyone used these guys?

They are $1450 a set and I just wonder how they compare.

I used GAHH full leather seat covers. It's important to replace all the foam padding as well.

CarreraX

How do you feel the quality compares with original?

flyingchappy

IMHO, the leather quality and color is as good as OEM no question. The key is to get a very good installer. Mine was local and he did a pretty good job. I didn't replace the padding on the driver's side and in retrospect I should have because it deteriorates. I'll probably order the padding and have it redone.

CarreraX

Thanks. I was going to try and do the install myself (if I end up going this way. I would obviously have new upper padding but may need to look into the lower as well. Thanks for the info!

Anyone have an alternative to getting the sport seat insignia? Part 993-521-811-00

I had Hardbacks in my 993TT and they weren't all they're made out to be. The Sport seats I had in my 1989 930 was far more supportive. Of course the 993 Hardbacks are cool looking and everyone wants them but they're completely over rated in my opinion...
