Default WTB gt3 seats

Anybody selling a set of euro GT3 seats in black or grey?

Any added benefits for the gt3 seats versus an after market i.e. sparco

thanks

GT3 seats are more "plug n play", and bnewport has reported that some Sparco seats are much too high. The 996 has limited space between tunnel and doorsill, so that also limits your options.

cool thanks..

next question, if I can't find a use set, where's the best place to buy/order them?

What's the market price for used gt3 seats and would the leather version be more expensive?

thanks again

$2000±200 or so seems to be the going rate on Ebay. Leather is almost always the norm, so it's hard to say if it adds to the value. If you can't find a used set, then all the usual suspects (Brandywine, Suncoast, Sunset, etc) should be able to get below $3k or so.

Park Place Porsche in Dallas has them for 2750/pair. I don't know if this is a great, mediocre, or bad deal but I'd be interested in learning what your research reveals.

For those of use who only had the 8-piece Crayola set, what basic color is savvanah most like? Brown? Green??? I'm asking because I know of a beige set for sale from a reputable tuner (Lucent Motors) in the LA area.

Savvanh is a litght yellowish brown. looks great on blue/green cars not so great on everything else.
