Default FS: Recaro 996 GT3 seats, black

Category: Interior
Price (no $ sign please): $3200
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Location (Region): NorthEast
Item Condition: Used

I'm looking to sell my Porsche (Recaro) GT3 seats. Side mounts, sliders, and sub bars for both seats are included. I also have a fire extinguisher mount if you want it. Seats are in excellent condition. No tears, leather looks great, a couple of small scuffs on the backs.

$3,200

Looking for a local sale, but I will consider shipping at buyers expense.

What's the deal with the pinch marks towards the crest on the driver side seat ?

Yeah, this.

Also, what would shipping be to California?

Had the seat stored in my garage last summer and something was placed against it. Left the pair of creases. I will add a close-up photo.

I will also get an estimate on shipping to CA.

A good price. I sold my set recently for a bit less but didn't come with as many of the other items. These should sell quickly. Not too expensive to ship as they are not heavy. Mine were shipped in one box from Fedex and packed "nestled" like a pair of shoes.

Here are close-up pics of the dimples in the driver's seat. The leather is "dented," but not torn.

Such a shame :/

Can it be fixed?

maybe a little heat would get the dimple to release???. Why is it the every set of leather euro gt3 seats I see (that have actually been in use rather than bubble wrapped) feature loose, puffy, dented, or otherwise wrinkled leather? The ones in mine have similar issues (without the dents). After looking at my bottom cushions, I think the culprit may be crappy foam. Its super lightweight and not very dense like the oem seat foam (which is waaaaaay denser). I think over time this foam shrinks and compresses making the leather look loose.

My passenger 997 sport seat, had an indentation like this, from being stored with something (box) sitting in it. A few good days parked in the sun, and that leather should shrink back to its normal shape.

So is this just an issue with the foam used in the seat or something?

I think the leather was stretched by the object resting against it. I do not think it is an issue with underlying foam. I have seen various YouTube videos of people using heat guns to work out dimples like this in leather seats, sofas, etc. I have no experience working with leather, and I prefer not experimenting on these seats.

Given that it is January and I'm in Maryland, this strategy probably won't have much effect at this time
