Source for Recaro Nomex Seat
Looking to add a passenger seat to a newly purchased 993 SuperCup. Would like matching Recaro nomex seat and mounts. Does anyone have a US or European source? Price I can expect to pay?

Apex Performance (www.apexperformance.net) carries them - number is 866-505-2739. They're great to work with.
Also may want to try www.ogracing.com - I think they sell recaros now.

I've gotten Recaro stuff from both Speedware motorsports (http://www.speedwaremotorsports.com/seat/rec.asp) and HMS (http://www.hmsmotorsport.com/store/seats).
I'd recommend either one.

Nomex Recaro seats
I've been a Recaro dealer for 11 years and have never seen a seat with a Nomex cover. If this isn't a typo, I'd love to see a photo if you have one.
The seats available to North American Authorized Recaro dealers come through Recaro North America which is a subsidiary of the German parent company. We don't always have access to all seats they make (like the super expensive GT3 seats).
I've also had very good experience with OG and Speedware.

Thanks for the Sources
The seat looks like a standard Recaro SPG seats with a sewn in crest. So I should be good with the recommendations as all have good pricing and terms.
One more question I have is that the drivers seat is worn some ... think these can be re-covered and there is a kit for them? Or do they need to be sent off for the fabric to be redone?

Replacement cover for SPG
I just ordered a replacement cover for my personal SPG. I've never replaced one, but will know the difficulty level shortly.
Just a coincidence, but I ordered something from Apex Performance today too. They seemed very pleasant, knowledgable, and their pricing was very fair. I think it's pretty safe to add them to the "good guys" list.
