they only spec for 599. i guess you could put any model in if you want. in that case, any recaro re-seller would do.

 

I think I read somewhere (here i think) that the OEM 355 seats are recaro?

 

Jared- Try looking for a large Porsche recycler, like the one in Rancho Cordova, CA, near Sacramento. Porsche has been using Recaros for years and you might be able to pick up a set complete with rails for a reasonable cost.

Another manufacturer you should check out is Sparco. They provide many of the racing seats for the Challenge and GTC Ferraris.

Knew a guy that had Sparco leather seats in his 348 SS. Looked just like a pair of Challenge seats for much much less.

 

This is what I am looking for except in tan to match my interior.
Thanks.

 

Just a quick search I found this.
Sparco Milano 2 Seat, Sparco, Lighting / Accessories / Gauges

 

A set of those seats out of a 575M, in tan, and including the rails, sold for less than $1000 on E-Bay last year. Other sets have gone for as high as $7K. All you can do is keep hunting and hope you get lucky.

The person who owned the seats hated them and had Ferrari replace them with the standard 575M seats with multiple adjustments and memory. Most people, however, like them and find them very comfortable.

Incidentally, those are not Recaro seats.

I am sorrry, who's seats are they? Ferrari OEM for a 575? Thank you.

 

Unbelievable, the gentlemen who has that car is now selling the red seats on ebay.

 

He PM'd me about selling them a few weeks ago.

While they are really nice, I think his price is really high. They are not factory, and how many 355 owners are out there who have a red interior, and are looking for a non OEM aftermarket option?

I'd buy them, as they would work in my white 355, but only if they were much, much less.

 

i think he is talking about the leather seats above in red. they are at $1,500/pr with no bids. seems exeedingly reasonible to me. maybe we can go in on them and make desk chairs? you back yet?

 

I'm back dick head. He offered them to me for around 3k. I haven't seen the eBay ad.

Wanna split them? I'm in for $750

 

those are a deal. who knows what he spent to get the seats done like that....

 

Henry- Affirmative, the only factory sports style seats I have seen with Daytona strips are in the 599 and later models, and those are multi-adjustable and cost out the Kazoo.

If you look at the 575s for sale above, our old friend that I nearly bought, TDF 575M 133729, with the sports seats and shelf in Crema and the rest of the interior in Cuoio, now has 35,000 miles and is for sale again. They leased it to someone after it became infamous on the internet and they could not sell it.

i know the car......

from what i have found... the sparco milanos and the cobra misanos are close matches for the factory seats.

 

575M Racing Seats

Here is the actual option for the 575M. Note Daytona seating was not an option on these seats, nor was contrasting stitching or piping.

The seats you pictured are sportsters, we can get them and actually just recovered a set that you can see here..

Also i would be interested in the stock recaros from your 355 if you wanted to sell them.
