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.

Yes I wouldn't want the headrest done that way just the inserts

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

Those seats look like crap. But some new Recaros.

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 hereClick to view attachment

I bought my 944 Turbo from them a couple of years ago and am very pleased.

The pinstripe seats could look very nice in your car.....

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.

Here are my GT Classics. I spec'd the grommets and they came like this, with the horizontal look.

Those are not bad.. I need to look at cost of those

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!).
Mikey914
The metal should be fine. They just need aback flap so that you can't see through to the cushion.

Are the GTS prices per seat or both seats?

Prices are per seat...Stefan makes some top notch seats but the price does reflect accordingly. You can custom almost everything. You can give him your height and weight even and he'll do some customizing. One thing to be aware is that he uses his own seat frames so typically the bolt/anchors points require adapters or his seat rails. For your fab skills that's pretty straight forward.

The Scheel looking seats I put in my 914 but had to use my own/custom seat rails

I've used his seats in 3 of my builds but I kinda think of the seats as the jewelry part of the interior
