Ha, I just ordered my GT3 seats today! They will be here in like 3 days! My advice, and ive done lots and lots and lots of searching over the past year... save up your money. I talked to todd a whole lot about the corbeaus. While price is right(ish), you still have corbeau stitched into the headrest, and i see these seats is old beater mustangs, to honda civics, ect.... that was the hugest turn off ever. But its up to you if you want to downgrade to fabric seats that are fiberglass. I upgraded to black alcantera carbon fiber seats from imagine auto. While they are replicas, i saw them in every 911 there, and they know their stuff, so I trust them.

It says like 1500 after shipping. And no. Ive looked everywhere, and asked everyone, you cannot get them for under 1200, me and todd were gonna buy multiple orders and they were gonna give them to us for 1200 plus shipping or something ridiculous. So I paid 1250 with a 10% discount, so I am pleased. They are probably those same seats for all I know, but it could be night and day depending on imagines supplier or carbon fiber maker.

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.
