I am thinking about the final stages of my GT ish build.. And though this would not really be correct I am thinking I might like the 911 style seat pattern. Is anyone making a kit?

Thinking you will need to custom make those but shouldn’t be hard.

I personally don’t like when the horizontal lines extend into the headrest.

Early Ferrari 308 style could look neat too, fairly similar to what you are thinking about.

Lol completly missing this.. Those are not what I want to put in.. That is a sample of the pattern I am looking for.. I love the 70s style factory 911 seat pattern look.. I don't think I want stock looking and not thinking tartan is my thing either.. I have seen some people do the 911 door panels and though I am not doing that I thought maybe the seats might be nice..

Or maybe something like my 964? Spit balling hereAttached Image

I think the horizontal pleat in the middle would look great.

Horizontal like these maybe?

I don’t care for the raised vertical seam on the bolster but otherwise it looks really good.

I've always worried, quite possibly for no reason, that all those metal rings won't stand up to wear and tear (fabric pulling away) or be felt through a tee shirt (SoCal baby!).

The metal should be fine. They just need aback flap so that you can't see through to the cushion.
