My car came with Recaro seats. They fit good but are real heavy so they are getting replaced. I've seen a ton of seat threads here but most are replacing the stock seats with something else.

I'm going back to the stock seats but I want to modify them

I'm leaning towards the "look" of the 911 and the Cayman seats.

I'm looking for ideas, so, If you have a favorite seat, of any kind or have modified a 914 seat please post up some pics.

Yup, the GTS Classics seats are fairly similar to the stock seats with extra bolsters, and either a separate (adjustable) headrest or none at all. I think there is a version with the attached headrest like the stock seat, as well?

We have members on the board who have removed the cover from the seats, used thick wire to set an outline of where they want the edge of the seat to be, built up the seat frame/core with fiberglass, then cut new padding and made new covers to fit.

It's a whole lot easier to write a check to GTS Classics.

Renegade Hybrids also sells (sold?) modified 914 seats. Check their website to see if they still do.
