Gert has the 991 version for sale BRAND new for about $8K US. Shipped.

Beats me what ppl are asking the same $$ for new ones?

the only difference is (a) heated and (b) they have 3 lower cushions instead of 2.

Do airbags work on a 997/987 if its a 991 seat? Didn't think so, I have heard from a 991 guy at the track that his 997 GT2 bucket seat airbags didnt work on his 991 GT3. Not entirely sure why he was running a 997 bucket in a 991.

USD 7800 with the current exchange rate. Yet people are asking over 9k for their used ones. Doesn't make a lot of sense.

Gert has confirmed that he has customers running the 991 version in their 997 without issues. Same shells and brackets, only the cushion is different.

Is ‘gert’, ‘limited slip’ with carnewal? Sorry, if it appears naive. That’s an attractive price for the seats.

Gert is the owner of Carnewal.

They are a Belguim (IIRC) based company tat specialties in Porsche parts directly sourced form the Factory.

His service and knowledge is second to none - especially in regards to rare parts.

Try his site - I'm sorry in advance - You'll be poorer >>>>
