Damn you lucky bastard and all your Euro Spec... jealous!

But that's a sweet 944 man. The seats look like some old 80's Recaro's I think I've seen around, just a tad bit different. I'm sure there's some seat genius on here that'll be able to tell you.

And welcome to Rennlist!

I'm pretty sure those are aftermarket recaros or replicas. I've never seen a 928 with them.

928 early seat:


928 late seat:


928 sport seats looked similar to the above, with more pronounced side bolsters.

i'm really sure those are recaro/or wanna be seats... I saw a set of them for sale recently by me, they were cloth though but the exact same style.

Nice car for sure. The only thing I would suggest is to get rid of that rear valence and replace it with a 951 under wing.
