Are they identical to the GT3 seats? Say if I didn't know they are replicas would I be able to tell?
Does the price you pay include the mounting brackets and such?

I had the replicas.. Sitting in my house for 4 months and I couldn't put them in my car. The feel so unsafe its not even funny. Its your life so I am not saying do not buy them, but I sold mine and just got the factory seats. Double the price, double the quality and safer.. Just my .02

They come with car specific brackets too. They are completely identical except for the recaro logo on the back and the porsche crest on the front, lol. I for one went to imagine since i live in town and asked to sit in them, sit in other seats, play with harnesses, etc... and they felt like high strength racing seats. They had them in their own race cars including a turbo 993 with full roll cage. And I know they have been fully tested or they wouldnt use them.

Did you have the fiberglass replicas or the carbon fiber? Cause I hear some thinner glass seats flex making them feel unsafe. Is that what made you sell them?

i think 3K for seats is a lot. if you use the car on the track every weekend, then i can see the use, but just for looks and around the town...i dunno.
not that i wouldn't like them in my car, but the price is just a little too steep for something like seats...and i do understand quality and safety do matter.

Do you mind linking which ebay seller you bought them,or better yet the auction itself?
