Does anyone know what seats these are and who makes them
They look perfect for serious driving and look a lot easier to get in and out of than the bucket seats I've seen available
Thanks

Although not quite the same, they are close to the Renegade Hybrids seats.

Would be nice to have another angle to see the back of the head rest.

If it's notched (ala 914) then I'd say they were custom off of 914 cores.

They look that way to me.

They sure do fit the back pad cut out perfectly!

I agree, those look NICE!

I need something like that for the passenger side...

I'll probably end up with a renegade upgrade for that side.

Yes; those are indeed custom made 914 seats starting life as stock 914 shells. They were formed and upholstered to perfection. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The green doesn't look right for your car...

Are these yours?

I haven't taken the time to go through your whole thread (as well as many others).

If you have contact info about the shop who made those many on here might want it.

Those are the BEST modded stockers I've seen yet! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

@Geo9146

Like all the guys have said, these look custom made. I can tell you that the weave in leather is very expensive as you have to buy so much of custom color weave but a great interior man can cut and shape foam to do that for you. I really like the seats you are showing.

I view a -Custom Auto Upholstery site https://www.instagram.com/thehogring/
And there are a lot of examples of custom work. To get what you want costs a lot of money

Good hunting.
and welcome to the world

@technicalninja - No, those are not my seats, but I know the owner. They are just right when it comes to lateral support without making you extort your body to get in and out. The older I get, the more I appreciate that. I have a set of those, solid color, on my list...

Nice!

Since you know the owner perhaps you, or he, could share the specific information as to the maker, unless it's a double throw-down secret.....

It's not a secret. I have a set of seat shells, as soon as we start that process, I will post pictures of the process. I like they look mostly stock. We (Sergio, master upholsterer and great guy) will upholster mine to resemble the stock seat covers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Sorry. I am not at liberty to put either of their information out there. But I will post pictures of the process when we do a set of seat shells I have. That will be after my car is back on the road following the engine swap. We are making god progress so I expect that will be in about 4 weeks (hopefully). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Highest praise for Stephen at GTS. I put a set of his seats in a 72 911 for a guy. I really liked them.

I see....still cloak and dagger.....

Perhaps one of "your pictures" will have the name of the shop in the background?

Just hope China isn't flying a spy balloon

GTS could certainly recreate those just with that pic. They will customize any of their seats. I had them make me a pair that was a hybrid between two seat models and then I had them customize the bolster further.
