Thanks in advance.
I've installed them into my 996TT before. I found the sitting position is 1-1.5" lower than OEM sport seats lowest setting. I've email you price quota as well!

Thanks Ray. The only thing my wife likes about the 996TT is the heated seat; so this now becomes a valid option for me. Did anyone purchase a pair with natural color leather? I would like to see some pics of that.

Heated seats is kind of a must have options for our Canadian Porsche! We haven't done it in Natural Brown yet but here is a PS rendering to give you an idea!

One more question Ray... I'm a chubby guy, 5-8 200lbs. Will I be comfortable in these seats?

Do you have a color that would go with a gray interior?

There are couple options. We can do a custom graphite grey cover to match your interior. Custom grey leather center pads with black leather cover to create 2 tone look or black leather seats with grey stitching.

I love the look of these but have a few questions. Are these seats a direct bolt in to the 996tt? The reason I ask is that the mounting brackets on these seats in the pictures do not look the same as the OEM seat brackets. On the OEM seats the front portion of the bracket has a downward bend in the front portion and the front bolts screw in at an angle. Do you have close up picture of the attachment brackets under the seats? I've read on this forum somewhere that it's quite an ordeal to mount these seats which I don't understand since the OEM seat take 10 minutes to remove or install. If this is not a direct bolt in, how will it hold up in any kind a collision. Does anyone have any crashworthiness data on that?

Not trying to sound like a jerk but quality and durability of Rottec seats compared to like a stock gt3 seat or soemthing. How well built are your seats?
