Default Carnewal inserts

Need a little pricing help. I have a buddy that wants to buy my alcantara inserts for this gt3 seats (996). How much should I charge? They were pretty expensive...shipping, exhange rate and so on. Just want to give him a fair price. I sat in them maybe 5x. Thanks!

In Pano, a guy who trades as Alpha- Technics is selling the inserts for less than $300 per set. I have ordered a set but can't yet tell you about the quality.

Terry L, Is the set from Alpha a black or charcoal-like OEM colour alcantra?

I saw the ad in Pano recently and it seems like a reasonable price.

Yeah, carnewal sells them for 350euro. That's like over 600$ in US dollars. I would say 400$ for both. It doesn't matter if you sat in them only once, the fact that a good upholster can do it for a fraction of the cost, kills the deal.

Alpha Technics (actually a GT3 owner named Ted Lazakis) gives you a choice of three gray/charcoal colors (and lots of others). He will also embroider GT3 on the seats. Again, I have yet to receive the inserts so can't comment on quality, but Ted is easy to work with. No affiliation, just passing on info.

Hey Rog, I'd say around $400?

Cool. Thanks guys. I may give him a "brother-n-law" deal at $300 if he wants it. They are just taking up space at this point anyway.
