Default Wanted Sports Seats

Looking for a set of black leather sports seats for my 03 TT. Preferably with Plastic Backs in Arctic Silver, but without would be fine. Also would like the Porsche Crest and full power w/ Lumbar.


Let me know, I am ready to buy.

Hah you did indeed.

jbossolo has an awesome set if anyone is interested. Unfortunatly for me I need to have heated, with crest and full power with lumbar.... tall order but I will pay top $ to get what I want if anyone has them.

Thanks and thank you Tim for the tip!

You cant get the sport seat with full power or lumber....its not a tall order, its an impossible one.Yes you can get crested and heated, I know thats how i ordered mine.

interesting...i know that the sport seats were not available with full power on the early models cars, but i thought that the my 04 and later cars were available with the power sport seats, but i may be wrong.

just shooting at the hips here, would anyone know if the 997 sport seats would fit in a 996. i definately know that the 997 sport seats do come with full power. just an idea...

Hmmm well that sucks. So do they have power anything? I can live without the lumbar, but I would like to have some power.

kilrgt ~ you said you ordered yours, where did you order them from?

Ditto with the crests. Seats are great. Unlike my other cars, never felt the need for lumbar in here.

Sport seats were marketed towards the enthusiast purchasers, hence the limited power. The manual front/rear and up/down saves a lot of weight compared to full powered seats (but nowhere near as much as the GT3 buckets save).

I switched from the sport seats to GT3 seats, and the weight difference is astounding! Also the buckets provide much better lateral support.

still cannot seem to find anyone willing to sell used or even find them brand new from a manufacturer anywhere. If anyone knows where I can get them new I would really appreciate it.
