UPP pricing for Rennlist is 29,999.00! If you are caught selling you seats for a lower price you will be flogged and your car confiscated.

You seem like a handy kinda guy, Carl. I'm sure you could fabricate one from a fresh blade, duct tape, and styrofoam

I believe we have a match!
Headrest? Check!
Pass throughs? Check!
All you need is the pass through for the anti-sub.

Agonized over the decision on LWBs the night before my order locked...and even went and sat in standard Sport Seat Plus and LWB that night. The LWB looked like a deal back then, and look like a screaming deal at $5k now. But they didn't hold me in all that well, like LWBs of 9x6/9x7 era. Today, you'd have to give me LWB plus cash for me to even think about giving up the standard GT4 sport seats. For a daily, they are some of the best sports car seats Porsche has ever made—eclipsed only, imho, by the sport seats of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Think RS America. And those $3k thrones for Cayennes. For track work, something else would be nice in the GT4, but factory LWB aren't that light and don't hold my torso in that well. $30k to switch to LWB? No. $10k? Nope. Even money? Still wouldn't do it.

Mooty makes a depressing point, however: If you want harness ready seats that are right in every way, there is no other option. Good thing I don't need those right now...

Can you add heating elements to them? I may reconsider.

Nope. I'm into these sofas—for a street car and loop runs, anyway...

One small correction - they are only harness ready for the driver. On the passenger side, they are not. And if you cut the seat to allow for a harness, starting next January you cannot run with PCA.

What kind of nonsense is that?

Over here, the ClubSport package comes with 2 harnesses. Not sure my dealer had to cut the seats, but that would be one seam only to open....
