I wonder what those seats would look like if the stitching was padded - like they have on the Bentleys

Can't decide whether it'd look good or OTT?

I have to add another supporter to Ray's list. Ran into a real seat and this and frankly, the solid part is equal in quality.

The leather is custom...color/inserts were done by me.


They are very comfortable to me...but I am a 33" waist. In the shoulders, they are tight...for a track oriented person, perfect. For a cruise on the highway person...I'd look at his newer model....these are better for side load inclusive driving.....

Also 6'3, just over 200lbs, 33/34 depends on pant brand, I fit easy into the seat. Like someone pointed out shoulder support is great on hard cornering, personally can't complain on highway comfort either.

We done alot of cross stitching seat pads for GT3 seats. We choice single stitch instead of double stitch that Bentley use. With leather cross stitching pads, it look and feel padded. A lady saw it at my office and thought it was a Channel hand bag

As promised re seat comfort: I drove to Willow Springs from south LA last week, did track all day, and drove back. Seat comfort at the end of day was no problem, the longest part of the trip nearly 2 hours with no break, the firm backrest was actually really adding to the driving comfort towards the end of the day. The only thing I can tell could be an issue if I kept going another 2 hours with no break is that the leg support is a little short (I am 6'3"). Maybe I can move the front pillow fwd a bit on the velcro strips to make it better.

While tracking, I found that taking the rear one of the two seat cushions out, would make for a really good low seat position. I sit really down low into the "bucket" with great leg support from the front of the two seat cushions which I would leave in place, I get great side support and I have excellent contact with the seat/car through the whole seat all the way up to to my shoulders. I was expecting good, but not this good. Thumbs up.

Wow. I am impressed. PM pricing and time frame please on all sand beige leather, sand beige inserts with black cross stitching (like 1st picture here), with black backs and seat belt openings (is basalt black an option?). Really nice work! I posted a few pics for more of an idea of what I am looking for.
