Only takes ten minutes if it takes you four minutes to drink a beer, then do one seat, then four minutes to drink another beer and do the second seat.

I am the tall one on the right.....my friend Bob is on the far left
The middle is Avo Uvezian. Avo hangs out at a local cirage bar to me and everytime I take my GT3 up there he wants to see it.
Avo Uvezian is a cigar maker for those of you who don't smoke

These guys make alcantara covers for GT2 seats for $300 a pair I believe. Certainly worth looking at considering how much it would be to replace oem ones.

Thanks for the info! I'll probably send them an email. Do you happen to know if they reupholster the original cushions or do they give you new ones?

Who would've guessed that 6% of the Spyder's value is in its seat cushions ?

My 996 GT3 RS inserts were 350 Euros for the pair.
I guess those alcantaras were raised on catfood and Yellow Tail.
