if you remove the velcro seat cushions, there should be a rectangular opening for the racing belts to pass through. The padding for your back should also be velcro.
If they are replicas I would venture that this would have been stitched in place...why put in the extra time for something that probably won't be removed.

Finally got an answer from the PO. Says they are Recaro style GT3 seats. They are carbon fiber with leather covering and cushions. The cushions do come off and held in place by velcro. There is a rectangular slot for the 3rd point of the seat belt to go thru. He said he paid around 1800 for them.

Anyone want to trade for black stock seats in excellent condition? Looking for motorized with heater. Even carrera (or other) seats that will fit the Boxster. I can do some rewiring if needed.

Thanks

Does this mean Recaro style GT3 or Recaro GT3? Recaro made all the GT3 seats for Porsche. They also made a simiar seat called the Pole Position that didn't have the Porsche look on top. I don't recall either having carbon fiber backing.

I also paid 1800 for mine but that was a deeply discounted price on account of their being slightly used.
