    Wow hadn't seen those before. I agree that looks off. Probably the large contrast between the centres. Although one of my favourite bmw interiors of all time had contrasting centres, less contrast than the black and red though. E36 M3 GT:

    Yes, completely agreed that works— but that’s because the centers are mostly black.

    whereas stock individual two tone seats look aftermarket

    I do feel like I've achieved a pretty stock look.

    I do think if you want it to look stock, the seat centers should be the same color as the outers.

    +1 If not for that logo those seats in the Porsche would fool people as if they were stock.

    Lol same. Definitely prefer not having the cobra logo there.

    Every time I see Cobra, I think mustang . If you can remove the seat cover, another upholstery shop can stamp the M logo if they have the tool.

    The thought of cinnamon leather with m texture inserts makes me feel faintly nauseous. Wonder if that's been done before.

    I heard that HMS is getting a new set of carbon nogaro that will be significantly cheaper than the originals that were 4-5k. The weight savings isn’t significant though, and it sounds like they will come in around recaro PP weight. Just an FYI 🤙🏽
    Congrats! I've already spent enough money this year, but I sure hope next year to get a set for the M3, they are such great seats. The only thing I will miss is the fold down function.

    We put a set into a 996 GT3 and they are just perfect, almost like a suspension upgrade as well, you can definitely feel more of what the vehicle is doing at all times.

    The factory GT3 seats are quite similar as you can see but those cobras are just the ticket.

    FWIW, when I ran the Nogaro GB, they told me it would be the only time it would ever happen.

    Should we try to reach out to HMS or cobra directly and see if they would be willing to do a mini GB or more significant discount if we buy more?
