Hi
My beater 2001 Boxster S with 143,000 miles has a badly torn driver's seat. It came with really ugly seat covers and I do not want to get it re-upholstered. Besides going to a junkyard and finding a replacement seat in great condition for under $400, I was wondering if I could buy new aftermarket/sport seats and replace the driver's seat with it for longevity.
What is the best seat ?
I have read all the racing seat posts from the last 5+ years and I see patterns of use and recommendations, but they are all related to track racing. I just want to daily drive my Boxster back and forth from work and grocery shopping. Not tracking it or autocrossing it. Trying to avoid buying a 5-pt harness etc.
The 996 GT3 seats are super expensive for my beater Boxster.
eBay and FB marketplace seats are $400-900 for used seats but an aftermarket Sparco or something is around $400-500 so I was wondering what the real Boxster enthusiasts have been doing.
If the best solution is to get a used driver's seat, that's a bit disappointing
Please advise.
Thank you.
