There aren't mine, and I have no affiliation with either vendor. Currently there are two sets of black 993 seats for sale in Bay Area Craigslist. Certainly worth a look at either pair.

I have a pair of black hardback sport seats I'm going to be selling if interested... just haven't gotten around to listing them.
They are in good shape - not perfect, but good. The leather is in good shape. There's a scuff by the driver's control panel. The driver's seat velcro has some trouble holding the center pad down when the lumbar pad is in place, and the return spring for the driver's side back-seat access lever is a little weak. If you (or anyone) is interested, I'll take some pics. Was going to pull them out and list them after the holidays.
They come with original cloth seat covers w. Porsche logo - something I haven't seen for sale anywhere.

There is a guy that can convert regular seats into softback sport seats. Expect to pay $6,000+ though....

I tried reaching out to the guy in Europe and never heard back. No new posts on the turboseats IG account since November 2022

If you convert and weld in the bolster skeleton, it is not quite the same. Ask @lart951 and he will tell you all about it. He uses only sport seat cores.

Another option is to get 996/997 sport seats.

I was in sticker shock. Also asked to replace a headliner in another car. 3 years ago one shop said $400. Today this shop quoted me $1800. But as I said, they are a pretty reputable shop in the area
What was the name of the shop int he Bay Area?

@CosmosMoon , I’m very interested in the hardback seats. Can you send details if they are still available?

Thanks!

You can also consider a swap for other Porsche models if you are looking for a nice pair of used seats - pre and post 993 models

There are likely lots of posts on many forums about compatible swaps or this that require minimal effort.
