Best modern era Porsche seats hands down. JBO
Yes, and CGT seat comes in 2 sizes.

I assume CGT inserts are leather vs 997 inserts in alcantera. I've been curious to sit in the large CGT seats.

Yes on sizes and Yes on alcantara. However I've never see a CGT equipped with the smaller size. If anyone knows of one please let me know. The seats have a build date sticker on them. My current Perlon set was built in 2007. I assume they came out of a ROW RS.1.....

my seats are sold at asking. so i am unbiased now.
i am sorry to say that the perlon one is WAY WAY WAY BETTER THAN LEATHER VERSION.
if you actually drive your cars and have had 10 sets or more of each material, you will not have any argument with above stmt.

all my RS has perlon for a reason ;-))

Mooty, I assume the perlon version breath better? I've only been tempted to swap to perlon for cooler ride. Outside of that, the leather just look damn good.

U sell 'em?
if you are more than 120 lbs, put 5000 miles on the seat. you will know leather sucks

if i had a cgt, i would pull the leather one out and shove perlon in it.
