Default How many GT3\GT2 owners have their new old stock seats?

Just wondering how many people swapped right to the Euro GT3 seats when they got their cars.

Yep mine have been out of the car sitting in my garage for years. Used only by the original owner for 4000 miles.

Same...We actually moved and they are now at my brother's place because I refused to leave mine somewhere that wasn't climate controlled. I keep telling myself to just sell them but when I think about the idea of shipping them it kills it for me.

I totally agree. Shipping seats can suck the joy out of life. There's just no easy way to do it and the rails are almost guaranteed to get damaged in transit.

Had 2 sets of the Euro seats in and out. SO was uncomfortable sitting in them, and since no longer tracking took them out, so glad I hadn't sold the Sport Seats.

I've used the hanging (closet) moving boxes to ship seats many times. Never any damage.

I, personally, found the euro buckets exponentially more comfortable than the stock seats.

I keep mine tucked in the corners of my closet with my clothes. I thought I may want to put them back in someday for a few reasons, but right now I love the Euro seats.

I am but I need Granite Grey specifically at this point. I'm open to grabbing a clean set for a future build in black if they're local and the price is reasonable.

Are you sure it's granite?

I don't think that was ever an option for the gt cars, so you probably won't have much luck here.

I swapped mine out as soon as I got the car. I'm the original owner of the car and have the stock seats sitting in the house just in case I decide to go back to stock.
