Eddie, looks like two interested parties for the euro GT3 seats already! I love rennlist!!
I spoke to Ted!
Agreed! Like the new sig, will have some video for you after tomorrow!
Thanks Joe, will be calling to get some with Orange stitching for headrest... RS!!
My BK sub bars and harnesses will be here next week as well!
Nice!
This is a great idea! Will follow suit in orange!
You'll be hearing from me shortly!
The airbags and being able to lean them forward was the clincher...
Give Eddie a ring! He can tell you all about them. They have alcantara inserts and are in good shape! They're still at orbit or I'd put up some pics for you!

i just talked to them/him - try ted, ted@alphabedding.com, (847) 550-5110, x161. he's a GT3 owner (which is why his non-car related, fabric biz does this "on the side".)
the order number for alcantara inserts in porsche color charcoal grey is GT31080. yes, even tho the part # has GT3 in it, the item is for GT2 seats. i confirmed. $299 shipped. embroidery ("GT2 / 3") on the headrests is $45 per pair.

Hi folks, glad to hear all the interest. Not sure how we missed some inquiries but will make sure we fix that. Our main business is hospital mattresses but our custom shop made a set for my seats and when I showed them to some PCA buddies they said I should sell them. PM me for a brochure.
I had two reasons to spec these when I ordered the car
I am 6' 5" and 240lb and these seats give extra width making long days at the track comfortable but the biggest benefit was that the squab/base is removable which allows my head in helmet not to hit the roof
I had a small alcantara pad made to replace the factory one for track days but truth be known my own padding is sufficient
Air bags a bonus as well, hopefully never needed but the tilt forward option does make climbing into the back through the cage acheivable (if I really have to - kids never clean the rear window properly from the inside.
You will really enjoy these

. If you buy Peters latest creation you'll have the identical one with less miles and not nicknamed "the lemon".Jamie, you are/have sold those seats too cheap, told you they would go in 5 minutes if you would try to sell them. Looking forward to the video(s)

I'll look for it...
Took a ride today in a .2RS with them and what a difference...
Not sold yet, maybe a bidding war!! 
Hi Stephen, looks familiar doesn't it . If you buy Peters latest creation you'll have the identical one with less miles and not nicknamed "the lemon".

2K? I going to assume that these are the 996 variants and not the 997 Euro Gt3 buckets that sell for 14k at suncoast.

Also for those that contacted Eddie, my guy backed out so it's all you two!
Please continue to work it out with him!

2k is a great price, and the 996 euro seats are better for track-only (being WAY lighter), so long as you don't mind losing access to the rear storage space.
Surprised they're still available, as used sets typically move quickly.

Seats arrived Thursday this past week. Super nice... Waiting on the passenger sub bar to install them both. Harnesses are installed in the car and on the seats. I'll take some pics of them before I install and in the car when I get them in.
Also the Euro 996 GT3 seats are still available. I think Eddie is at Sebring this weekend, should have pic's early next week.
Also thinking about selling the stock seats from the GT3RS as I don't have room to store them.
