No affiliation but highly recommended if they're really on "sale". The regular price make them a "forget it" item to most 997 owners but if they've come down to a reasonable level I think they're worth another look. Other than adding a custom steering wheel, I can't think of another mod that makes a bigger difference in how you connect with the car. Takes a bit of getting used to getting in and out of but once seated they're actually quiet comfortable.
I think they were 6-7% off or something like that when I was looking. Still can't stomache paying $10k+ for seats that would pretty much be worth 20-25% of the car itself.
There were a couple of dozen sets still available. Maybe we can have a group buy

Craziness. But it's a high demand item for those who really want them. Used sets sell for $6K to $7K. Odd thing is that once they're in the car they don't seem to add that kind of value if any value at all. The last two 997's I bought both had these seats and I paid no more than typical market for either one. Probably because to some buyers with mobility problems such as a bad back or a "full built" they're actually considered a detriment.
I know totally old post. But I don't suppose there are still a set or two in inventory

That’s just silly. How on earth are these things worth $16k?

These were 991 seats but they look identical to the 997 versions which last I saw them for sale at Suncoast they were around $10K as I recall it.
Used 997 sets have fetched anywhere between $7K and $10K last I checked. As flatsixfan18 said....supply and demand. I can't find the 997 version on Suncoast anymore and they are in high demand (among a small pool of buyers) but very difficult to find. That combination drives the price up on anything for sale. If somebody offered me $16K for my used buckets I would say thanks but I want to keep mine. That's how good they are. Also about 40 lbs lighter for a set of 2 than any other Porsche seats as I recall it.
I thought the 997 folding buckets went for about the same as the 991 ones. I agree in that the seat raises the engagement level when driving and they’re very cool looking, functional with the folding and airbags, but $16k? I guess that’s the market.
edit
yep, 16,750 for the 997 version on bat a couple of weeks ago ... so call them 17k now and that's without shipping.
