C.
cloth GT3 seats have always cost more than lether.
cheaperst leather is 2600 new.
i have 8 sets of leather GT3 seats since 2004, and 2 sets of cloth. i can tell you from personal exp. you will wear out the cloth much faster than leather. if u track a lot, get HANS seats, if you track less than 20days a y ear. get leather.

Sage advice. The cloth racing seats I have experience with do begin to take an odor of their own after significant use, and they begin to look dingy. That said, it's not terribly expensive to reupholster a set of cloth Sparco seats; I'm not sure the cost would be very different for Recaro GT3 seats.

if you want to look nice picking up your hooter girls, then hre, fikse, bbs motorsport would do it.

if you just want to slum to the track, i prefer CCW at 1/2 the price of above.

i am pretty sure john will make them for GT2. IIRC, years ago when he started C14, he said as long as they are 18" he can do whatever you want.

A PM with a question might have been nice...

For starters, the cloth seats cost more then the leather ones. Second of all mine have all the Brey Krouse parts (lap belt hooks, sub belt bars etc) AND the trick Brey Krouse fire ext mount...with a fire bottle and the new BK quick release.
