Default 997 GT3 Seats

Can anyone here post pics of what the part number sticks the OEM carbon bucket seats look like?

I have seen seats with stickers like these: are they OEM or fake?

The part number show crh, c rob hammerstein group, i believe they manufacture seats or components for porsche and other oems. They were recently acquired by johnson controls.


i assume porsche farms out seating manufacturering. Can others confirm gt2 buckets were made by them?

Based on the year of manufacture, I'm assuming you're talking about the perlon CGT seats? If so, I can check my car on Wednesday if no one has answered your question satisfactorily by then.

Exactly that link. I just wanted to understand how to tell the difference between original seats and fakes/copies.

That would be great if you could take a pic from under the seat and post the sticker here. There is no need to remove the seats. The sticker is easily visible if you look under the seat. Thanks a lot!

What are such seats going for these days?
The 997.2 gt3 I am getting next week has these seats but I personally prefer the look of the foldable seats, so considering selling them. Seen on BAT seats going to for 6k (did not look original), some for 10k (2021) and others advertised for 20k on ebay.

Mine are from later 2007 and have a different label than either posted above. Neither of my seats has a barcode label, do have what seems like a serial #, part number, date, and 'SCHALENSITZ.POR.CAR.GT3'.

SCHALENSITZ = Bucket Seat.

It looks like your seats did not come from the factory, because you don't have the Clubsport packet, and they don't have the perlon upholstery. Were they retrofitted?

Edited the text because I clearly wrote something that was not right.. before I spread fake news :-)

US cars did not have a club sport option.

We didn't get those seats on any 911s in the North American market that I know of. Those are like the CGT seats, and obviously all kinds of awesome!
