Default What other Porsche seats will fit ?

My drivers seat is beginning to show too much wear so I am wanting to swap out my seats with some compatible Porsche model seats in the tan color with heat and 8 way adjust. What other Porsche model seats have you guys used ? Which ones are plug and play ? I have a 94 model Cabriolet .

Practically all Porsche seats will fit. For sure, 993 (correct for '95 968) and 944S2. You should be able to find something decent for your car. GL.

Porsche finished using up the 964/968 style seats and changed to 993 seats during the production run... like Richard says, everything up to including Boxster 986 and the 996s will fit. but, the Boxster 987, Cayman, and 997 stuff requires modifications. best places; rl classfieds, ebay, DC Auto (North Carolina), and L.A. Porsche dismantler pages.

There appears to be a nice set of tan seats on eBay

That looks like a good seat but it is only the passenger seat. I was all over that when I first saw the ad doing my usual searches. Wish it was for a pair for sure.

isn't all you need is just the foam and cover, right ?

so, pick up the seat and switch them over.

How is that going to look with the cut out for the Seat controls ? What do I do with the big hole that will be left in the seat where the 8 way and heater controls were ? Am I missing something ? I think I would want matching seats as well. Not looking to butcher the look of my Pcar that way. I would rather have two matching seats personally.
