Default Time to find some hardback sport seats ...

Ok so I have owned my 993 for a few years now and it has always bothered me that the previous owner sold the sport seats that came with the car to fund the suspension work. I can't take it any more and I need to find some black hardback sport seats. I would appreciate any leads and some pricing commentary.

Thanks,
Pete

Look to Europe with the strength of the US dollar.

You can always go with the LA Dismantler guys, but they're steep...

Thanks everyone. Search is beginning. I am planning on this taking quite some time.

Okay, black hardback sport seats. Any preference as to heated, non-heated?

Have you spent much time sitting in the HB seats? Is the attraction aesthetic?

Good Luck

If you're looking for the comfort and support of HB sport seats; you can do as many of us shallow pocketed rennlisters did...Look for a nice set of nice 996 HB sport seats. They install easily with few modifications, and more than adequately do the trick!
THANKS AGAIN CRAIG! (cgfen)

Hardback seat prices seemed to have increased a little bit.

They must be getting scarce by now, since Opo has cornered the market on them.

I put 997 hardback sport seats in my car. Unlike the 996 variant, the pattern on the center cushions matches the 993 perfectly, and they're just about the most comfortable, supportive seat I've ever sat in. And they can be had cheap.
