Default Sparco DTM's For Sale

I am selling my Sparco DTM's in a few weeks. Have had them in for about a year now.
They look and are like new. Here are a few pics. They look so good in my GT3 it's sick. The stitching, leather and alcantara look OEM. I'm 5'11" 205 and I fit fine everywhere, But my thighs are a bit wide for these and it gets uncomfortable after and hour or so. If you are more slender they fit like a glove with good lumbar as well. I hate to sell them but I'm not going to track as much and will go back to the oem seats for now.
They work great with the extended female belt recievers which I will include.
See them in the pic's
I paid 5k from Speedware for these plus $275 for the belt recievers.
They do install and fit the car. And the 3 point belts are functional. No problem
My P dealer who installed them can help with questions as well.
$3500 takes the seats and the belt recievers + shipping.
PM me if your interested.

Great looking seats. And a lot more reasonable price than the Porsche seats!
(compliments out of the way, could you do me a favor and post pics of how the seatbelt receptacle attaches to the slider, please?)

What do the backs of these seats look like?

Also, how high do they sit? I tried the GT2 seats that come in the new GT3, and there is no way I could wear a helmet and NOT have to bend my neck. (I'm 6'2".)

The backs are Carbon fiber.
A very good look and nice shell

I cant get a shot of what you asked for. the new receptacle simply replaces the stock one. Here is a shot of the 3 point belt and the lap belt attachment.
The seat is mounted to a Brey-Krause

The seat can go down 1 more hole then I have it set.

Good looking seats - I'm trying to figure out what I will do in mine. I'm 6'7" so fitting with a helmet on is a challenge so I need a very low seating position.

Question for you - what did they do about your front airbag disable? I believe the weight trigger is built into the passenger seat and I'm assuming these seats don't have an accommodation for that?

How does this seat compare to the 6GT3 seats? (I guess it is not fair to compare to the 7GT3 seats as that's a lot more $$$? $10k+ for the pair)
