They would look too tall in a 71 hot rod.
And the weight of these air bag seats defeat the concept of long hood hot rod.

Thanks for the feedback!

Good point about the height. I just noticed how tall the seats were in my car.

Bigger weight difference than I thought as well. 39 pounds vs 28, and that's for one of the heavier GTS classic seats.

Do these have the crest like your pic or are they plain?

These have the embossed Porsche crest. They really are a beautiful pair of seats. Great weight savings too, perfect for the street and occasional track days

Will the set on suncoast fit in a 991 GT3? Do you have sets in Alcantara or do I have to buy the 4300$ inserts in addition?

sorry it says in the ad, these are not compatible with the 991.. Don't they have a True bucket seat for the new GT3/RS?

I have a set that just became available with Alcantara centers and Porsche crests on the headrests.

$8,200 plus shipping and that includes Brey-Krause sub bars already installed.

Harnesses and fire extinguisher with Brey-Krause mount available too.

No, only the leather option for these seats, and then the alcantara insert that you're talking about.

No word from Porsche just yet. We are all crossing our fingers but it might not be until next year

Yep! Just sold through 5 sets! We're trying to get a hold of the last few sets.

I posted mine for sale this morning. They have the authentic Alcantara cushions, made from pure bred kitten fur and dyed with organic, gluten-free squid ink*.

https://rennlist.com/forums/for-sale...ap-mounts.html

*I made portions of that up. But they are real, Porsche brand Black Leather/Alcantara seats pulled from an 997.2 RS and have the Brey-Krause sub bars already installed.
