Porsche Sport seat questions....

Does anyone know if the seat bottoms on the sport seats is the same as the one for the supple leather comfort seat? Here is what I wanna do....I LOVE my full power comfort seats...i wanna get the sport seat look....while still retaining the full power and maybe even the power lumbar support....If I got a set of sport seats, can I use my seat bottom, and the seat backs from the sport seats?

If you have supple leather seat bottom, with the perforated leather sport seat back, won't it look funny? You will have a mismatched-interior look there.

Did you check if the sports seats come in full power with lumbar? Maybe they do?

I have the perforated leather seats, and I have heat, lumbar and full power.

Yes, they come in pull power and heat...not sure about lumbar, but thats a $$$$ seat!!! If I got a good deal on a used set, swapped bottoms and had them reupholstered, I may be cheaper than what a new set would cost with all that....then again, I may not...I have only seen 1 set of full power sport seats for sale and on ebay they went for $2500 a pair.....

I took the easy route and dropped in a set of Custom Recaros. Lumbar support, power freaking everything, heaters, fans, etc etc etc.

My butt is sooo happy.

The recaro's sound like a nice option, where would be the best place to look at some? Any particular model numbers.
