Help finding vintage Recaro Profi SPG seat
I am looking for a late '80s early '90's Recaro SPG to complete a 944 Escort Series car. It would look like this but will likely not have the crest...

I have a spare Recaro Profi SPG from about 2005? It looks like that except the shoulders are black, not the lighter color you have in the picture. PM if that will work for you.

Seats
Here are the seats,
They were bought from a fellow rennlister a few years ago. They are stamped 1992 from Recaro. I was told that they came from a 964 cup car. (No way to confirm, I don't know) I've used them for about a year, and they've been sitting for about 3 years, and now I need to get a more aggressive seat for my race car.
I've upgraded to new belt covers on both ($100 x 2), and upgraded one to brand new recaro cloth cover for $250 from fvd brombacher . (still have the original vinyl it came with.)
The seats and vinyl cushions, with 2 vinyl covers are worth at least $250 each, and the cloth cover is worth $250. I'd let it all go for $600.
The rails and sliders will not be included, but you can purchase new ones from speedware motorsports at a great price.

The vinyl covers are obviously not original. The original seat material would have been toast a long time ago if they were actually used for racing, hence the new covers.
The reason why I believe they were indeed from a cup car, is that the seats originally did not have the plastic seatbelt donuts. All the original racing recaros from that era had the seat covers around the seatbelt holes glued to the backs of the seats, instead of using the plastic trim kits. The RS cars had the plastic trim.
