Default What are the chances - seats in Natural Brown leather?

What are the chances of finding sport bucket seats or GT2 seats in Natural Brown leather?

Any idea if they can be ordered? (just seats, I have the car)

As an alternative, anyone have photos of black seats in a car with a Natural Brown full leather interior?

Thanks for any suggestions!

To clarify: the car is a 2011 C2S in Guards Red with a natural brown leather interior. It has the heated/ventilated comfort seats, but I'd like seats that can be used with a 5 or 6 point harness. Thanks!

Chances--rare, if not impossible. In fact, I don't even think the GT2 seats were available in that covering.

I just bought Sport Seats delivered to Classic 9 to re-cover w original Terracotta leather from Porsche.
Cost for seats;$1700 delivered, to re-cover $2000. Will be ready in two more weeks.

I definitely agree that they would be rare, but I don't think it would be impossible. My '09 C2S has sport buckets with special leather Cocoa and there were no restrictions had I wanted to order Natural leather instead. Even today you can go to the configurator and select sports buckets on a C4S and the Natural leather options are available. I think Natural Brown was an option through the 2010 model year so it's theoretically possible one could find sport buckets in that color but, as you suggest, not at all likely.

RayDBonz... if you're able to locate a source, please let me know. I'd be interested in a set in natural brown as well. I already inquired at suncoast and no luck there. But they have to exist somewhere.

Default Natural Brown

It's funny as Im driving a 997.2 TT with Natural Brown Sport seats.
Eveything Natural Brown is impossible to find used.
When I re-did them w Classic 9, they came out perfect, like new.

I might sell other NB parts if you can tell me what model your driving?

997 turbo. Just looking for GT2 seats at the moment. Good to know about classic 9 if I come across a set. Color match was perfect?

There are a few cheap sets now on E-BAY. Doesn't matter what they look like now. If they need new under padding, it can be done too.
Color was perfect or can ask them to send a Sample 1st.

Much difference between 996 and 997 seats? Easy way to tell the difference?
