Yes, that is the "wrinkled look" I was referring to in my first response. Lots of people like that look. Me not so much. But that is exactly why Porsche offers it... or not. LOL! Something for everyone!

The 997 goes even further with FOUR basic seat choices, a couple "racing seat" choices on certain models, and a TON of ways to make them via the option list. The seats in the 997 Speedster were an attempt to check all the seat option boxes at once on one seat as standard.

I'm gonna bring this one back from the dead . . . . . . was there ever a CLOTH seat option for the 996?

From what I recall of the order book for the 99-01 models there was not. The base seat was a faux leather and then you had a few leather options.

Can you tell me which aftermarket heaters you used?

I'll see if I can find it. I sold the 996 and my big book of receipts went with the car...

[QUOTE=Thundertub;9187827]The were two basic types of seats for 996's in America (not including GT3, GT2, Turbo).

Early GT3's came standard with the Sport Seat (Porsche Crest was still an option). GT2's came standard with the "racing" seats, with the Sport Seats, or even Comfort Seats as an option. Turbo's came standard with the comfort seats, with the other two seats as an option.



2002 GT2 (1st year in USA) came standard with the "Sport seats" as seen in this base model MSRP $180,000 1st GT2 in USA I had the pleasure of test driving. I test drove several 2001-02 Turbos which came standard with full leather interior including the comfort seats.
