I managed to put some really nice scratches on the backs of my adaptive sport seats while carrying some stuff around over the weekend. Any suggestions on how I might make them less noticable. TIA.

Try the leather cleaner and polish by lexol. It should at least make it better than it is.

I have the same problem. Leather cleaner won't help - seat backs are painted plastic, and I have scratched off some of the paint. Maybe touch up paint? I need a solution too!

If they are painted plastic(I didn't realize that the adaptive seats were) and they are an easy color like black then I'd think that you could spray paint the scratch to cover it up. I'd imagine the dealership would have the correct solution.

Color is kind of a silver/bronze metallic. Probably just need some matching spray paint to touch it up.

is the seat back color the same with other interior colors?

I noticed that problem also when I saw my daughters shoe marks all over the backs of the seats. I tried to explain how "we don't kick daddy's car" but you can imagine how long that lasted plus accidents do happen. I think the material does not seem to be very durable and it seems like it is only a matter of time before a scratch happens. I was thinking about having my clear bra guy put film over it, but them that would prob. look like crap so I said f$%#^ it, just drive the car and do the best you can do. If the kid scratches it, just beat her. Just kidding, of course.

Good time to upgrade to GT3 seats??

If its paint, you can work on it the same as the exterior.

I believe it's the same metallic color that is on the steering wheel, especially on the center spoke of the wheel, and on the face plate of the PCM, which would make it difficult to touch up.

That's only on the sport seats I believe. I have the full leather seats but I've seen that plastic backing on cars in the showroom that have the adaptive sport seats.

AS is the color of the seat back right? You can buy that in a spray can but should remove the seat to paint it.

I'm sticking to stock seats w vinyl backs. Any foot mark wipe right off with a towel. I often carry stuff in the back seats so painted seat back is pretty much impractical.

I posted a year ago when the 997s began to trickle in that the painted plastic seat backs were the dumbest thing they could do . My children love riding in the back of our full-leathered seat backs of my 996 Turbo . The shoe marks on the black leather wipe right off with a dry towel. Painted backs as std on the 997 would have looked like an " Etch-A Sketch " screen by now . Ecccchhh !

It's a good thing the standard seats don't come that way. You need to go out of your way to special order those plastic backed seats - it's called the Adaptive Sports Seats option.

Sounds like time for BumperPlugs.Com to start doing the back of these seats in Carbon Fibre, that would look nice!

Do the 3rd seat option,the " non-adaptive " sports seats come with the painted backs ?

According to the order guide, the color of the backs of the adaptive seats is "Volcano Grey." Would the dealer even have touch-up paint to match this?
