Looking for a set of period correct sport seats that don't break the bank to put the finishing touch on my project.

The OMP classic sport seats look nice for $299.

Can anyone comment on these seats. Quality, comfort, and fitment into a 914.

Thank you,

Michael

I do not have those style of seats, but I have had a pair of OMP seats in my car for the last 8 years and they have held up very well. The quality is very good.

Anyone find any dimensions to determine if they'll fit? Certainly are price friendly!

I like em too. The website gives some sizes but they were hard to understand. It looks like this company is in france? I'd hate to see the shipping cost if they are.

If you go to "Find a Store" at the bottom of their home page, you'll find a whole host of US distributors. I did locate the sizing chart, which lists all the tuner seats except the Classic model....figures!

VRO.com stocks all kinds of OMP stuff and with great prices. Denise might be able to order those seats. They are very cool looking!

Has anyone seen or sat in these seats? Perhaps someone close to VRO (Vick Racing Outfitters in College Station, TX) could stop by and take a look should they stock them.....if it's convenient, of course. The bolsters look pretty high; as we know, this can really affect ones ingres and egress in a 914. The "butt-bucket" looks pretty deep in the picture, but it's frankly hard to tell.

wow, 6 years later and the price is still $299...that's pretty cool!

A little sleuthing around and I came across this pic of the Classic's dimensions.

I think 22" across the bottom is about 3" wider than ideal (compared to the GTS 914 specific seat)...so it might crowd the hand brake. But too much to make it impossible? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I have a Sparco that is ~21” wide and it negates use of the handbrake.

My stock 914 seats are ~18” wide.
