Tired of this urban legend, my friend from college has ballooned to 300lbs and he loved the seats. My only concern was him cracking one which thank god didn't happen.

He may have loved the seats because he carries his weight elsewhere. Most heavy people I know (including me) HATE racing seats. They really are made for people who are at or near their ideal weight, which is typical in racing.

I would really like to purchase them for my car when I get another Porsche to be my DD. It will force me to lose weight and keep it off so I can enjoy my new Boxster track car.

I had a seat like this in my old car... guess what kind of people could fit it and couldn't get out?? :dance:



Honestly... even a 250lb guy had trouble.

BANDALLNEIGHBOUR:
Thanks for the advice but I live in Israel, and buying the whole chairs will cost a lot more for the shipping, so I prefer to order just the covers.

About first link, the first picture seemes a bit "cheap", but there are more pictures, and it looks better...
By the way, "Jesseborgelt" recommended for Autoberry, and I think it is the same product (the first link)

Because they are the same pictures as on their website
Correct me if im wrong …

GHOSTRIDER 310:
As I wrote before, geographic issues, i will forced to order just the covers, and for sure I will go to a professional upholster that will fit it in, by the way he charge 350$ for it (!)
So my main concern isn’t that, as for the quality of the materials, I will be really disappointed if the overall look would be "cheap"

Golonaus:
Look really good. Is the price you paid also includes the installation?
The one I found online cost 700, not including shipping and of course not including installation,
If yours cost 850$, includes the installation, suddenly I feel that 700$ is a bit expensive..
Homeboy981:
Whole chair or just the cover?
New or used?

I'm not upholster, but I'll take it to a professional one

Thank you man, but I guess you're right, it will cost too much!

Jesseborgelt:
Thank you very much for the advice, I looked in the website and I have the feeling that the first link I found

belongs to Autoberry, I just looked at the pictures and it looks just the same, I wonder if you think that way also ..

Brockmeister:
I prefer to let a professional do it, and hope it will look like the original :-|

Ekam:
I really dont plan on putting this chair in a Porsche, I'm sure there some who will disagree with me, but I think the leather ones fits more ,
Especially if the car isn’t for racing at all

Yep
I paid 200$ for leather hide and 650$ to make those
He sew them from scratch and installed in this price
This are not pre made covers!!!
I have custom orange stitching , extra side support and some more cushion on the bottom side
All I had to do is to remove and reinstall seats in to the car
