NO ONE HAS ANY INPUT?

You need to give the folks more than an hour to reply And it may be that nobody here has purchased from that vendor. I haven't.

Also, please turn off your CAPS LOCK before somebody yells at you

Similar questions have been asked about 'clone' GT3 seats, I think on the 993 forum. The consensus is that they do look good but few on these lists would risk their lives on knock offs that are not ie FIA etc. approved. I thought about getting knock offs but went with real leather poles for my 993tt.

I would think long and hard about using aftermarket GT3 seats for anything other than show. The only time you will depend on the engineering behind genuine seats is the one time you will need them...a crash. Would you use aftermarket seatbelts or airbags? Just a thought. BTW, they can be had online from some Porsche dealers for 2895. Not cheap but worth the extra dollars over aftermarkets of questionable origin....Kevin

Also look HERE and HERE. Originally they were trying to pass these off (using fake Porsche dealership invoices, etc.) as the real thing to unsuspecting owners.

This looks like a scam since the pictures were taken in Lucent's shop.

Damit Kevin I would so use aftermarket seatbelts (Harness). I will pass on the airbags though Why must you be so dam FAT! You Eurotrash driving **** I do agree though spend a little more and get the real thing. Just think being in a crash and getting paralyzed because the clone seat was never structurally tested. I'm all for a good deal but somethings should be purschased from someone who actually complies with safety standards. After all it's just friends and family you maybe putting at risk. Kinda harsh but comeone **** does happen.

BTW when is the car going to be done!

KPG

It is getting there, but unfortunately Kevin has spent so much of his time recently trying to get a cheap crate motor for this guy in OH that we have been put to the back of the line ....It will be done when it is done.... Kevin

you'll be fine..... just don't crash.

Like Oak said,

Buy the real ones unless you can garuntee that you will not crash with the Cheapos in...

I bought the real ones because I might crash.

Personally, I like to use genuine and OEM parts as much as possible. That being said, the attitude on this forum makes me laugh sometimes - the absolute aversion and downright scorning of anything that is not the absolute most expensive and perfect alternative is excessive. I would venture that a great percentage of the cars running race buckets are not using $2000 Recaros. I can understand the comfort argument, but safety? What are the differences between using a $500 fibreglass shell seat and a $2000 fibreglass shell with some CF bits and beautiful leatherwork in terms of genuine protection? I would use these seats not because the originals were not available, but to save a significant amount of money.
