I had Cobras in my Boxster for 5 years and they probably saved 80lbs over the stock seats.

That is a good consideration for the Cabriolet. 996 GT3 seats are 50 pounds each, shocking but true. I wish I could find more Momo Corse's and have them recovered. It's as though Momo built them to fit me perfectly.

Not at all for the right seat. I've used my Momo Corse's for over 10 years on the street. Can drive for hours with them in total comfort.

Good to know, thanks.

Would be a good option save for the cobra hood backs, they would just look too goofy in a little Cabriolet.



I'm leaning more toward the Lotus Esprit seats. These are cheap and will work for the summer, can recover next winter with new carpet and panels. Dash isn't cracked so it might be worth putting a little money into it.
