No, the guy i talked to off ebay told me they look alot harder then they are, he said if i bought them from him he would give me step by step on the phone if iu needed.

 

I hope that someone can actually forward a reprint of the instructions. It sounds like these painted hard covers go over the leather seat materials - exposing the sid airbag, etc. Sure would like to know exactly how this works before I order them.

 

I'd think the seatbacks are cosmetic and not structural, and as such, could be removed and shipped off for painting, while continuing to drive the car without the seatbacks.

Any good quality paint shop locally can do the painting.. its not something you really need to ship the seat backs away for, unless you get a much better price that, after shipping, still beats the local price.

Of course, its recommended that you get all the parts painted at once, as the setup charge for painting is prohibitive when painting small bits... so if there are other internal trim pieces you would consider, maybe also have them painted.

 

Yes, but how do we remove them???

 

yea i'd love to know how to remove them and just get them painted myself.

 

I have done mine at the dealer in Denver and my brother did his TT at the dealer in Saudi. both dealers took off the leather and put it back.

 

Still confused. I have the stock seats with leather/vinyl seatbacks. What exactly would I do?

 

no one has the Porsche directions?

 

you need the sport seats to have a hard backing that can be color matched to your car, the rear of our seats are not leather, there some sort of hard shell but mine are grey & my cars red, so i wanted to match them red.

 

Ahh, no wonder. Guess I'm SOL so to speak. Thanks for the clarification thought.

 

So is there any conclusion on how to remove?

 

For those who don't already have sport seats......

Has anyone ever seen these in person? Looks interesting.
