If you dont want to pay the $$$$$ for the Bling GT2 CF seats do like I do and get a set of FIA Sparco Pro 2000 with mounts for less than $1k each.

I've had Rotech seats in my car for 4 or 5 years now. The leather is cheap (pleather?), but the seats are solid. They don't bend or twist and I have no back brace on them, and I drive pretty hard and am big bodied (220).

If you want light weight affordable fixed back seats that are covered in leather and alcantara and look the business in a 100k german auto, and are tried and tested in terms of build quality, safety, and qualification, then it has to be the pole potion. Only problem is the shoulder harness mounting might be a bit low for certain individuals. They were standard on the 964 RS, and are essentially the exact same geometry as the CGT fixed back seats.
