The seat bottoms are the same as the base seats. Only the seatbacks are different. You can order the backs through the dealer.. Somewhere I had the part numbers.

If you want a truly sporty, cool seat, the Factory EURO GT3 seats are the way to go.

I'm checking out a set tonight, but it really looks like the entire seatback is the same as the stock seat except for the little bit at the shoulders.

I have the sport seats in my S and like the snug feeling, I am an average guy 6', 180 lbs, and I fit just fine. My friend has the regular seats and the first time I sat in them I didnt even notice. If you want more "performance" from your seats dont waste your money on the sport seats IMO, go GT3..

Humara, the sport seats are different in the shoulder area, as you can see in your picture. That's where the extra bolstering is.

yep, just the shoulder area. i just sat in some sport seats. everything else feels the same. not sure if its really worth it. unless i can get them really cheap. thinking that used stock seats go for about $600/pair or so in good condition. at least this is what i have seen.
