Porsche seats - How would they look? Good or Gash

[Colesy]

In my quest for more supportive seats I have come accross these:



They are from a 1980 911. I'd be putting them into a black coupe with black leather trim. So what does everyone think would they look good or gash?

[Ducky]

I would keep an eye out for a newer style of Porsche seat, I have 997 ones in my van and they are very supportive!

[Colesy]

Yeah, I've been trying to get a set of the attached but they are a bit pricey.

You're better off with the ones you've got colesy. I've fitted both types to an s2 and the earlier deep bolster ones are far more supportive that the later ones

Gash IMO!

[Colesy]

Thought about dying them to be all black also as this is easier than colour coding the rest of my interior. Plus I think the novelty of the white would wear off quite quickly.

Any side votes for all black?

[Fat Audi 80]

All black might work. Not sure how good dyed leather would look compared the remainder of the interior. As you are doing so much to the rest of the car, I would wait until you find something better if I were you.

Cheers,

What about mounting frames to fit the S2 coupe? Are they readily available?
I've been looking at lots of recaro style seats but come unstuck when it gets to fitting them. Are the Porka seats an easy fit?
Cheers
PS - Gash in the colour

IMO not pretty. Is there no problem with them hitting the head lining when you tilt them forward?

[spink]

Very dated if you ask me

These seats remind me that Kung Fu Panda 2 is out at the cinema soon

[Colesy]

Thanks for the responses everyone. I think you've made me realise how bad they are!

In black though I think they'd look good, I'll have to look into whether the headlining would be an issue.

Might not look great but they are the best seats Porsche had in their cars, the bolsters were extra deep and the only reason Porsche changed them is because only fit people could fit them

Have a browse through gallery, I remember seeing a coupe a few years back with a set of these fitted in black leather, I must admit I was undecided if I liked them or not though

I have a set of non-sport Porsche seats that I am planning on using. They can be rebuilt with the sport bolsters; regardless, I think they are better than the US CQ seats and I can gain some headroom!
