    VERY nice Bruce! What king are they, Sparco? What about fitment, will you have to modify your center console?

    Bruce- Great buy and you beat out a lot of Maranello owners who wanted those 575M seats. All that carbon fiber looks great, especially when polished.

    Yes they are OEM Ferrari seats made by Sparco.....you wouldn't believe how light they are.

    I already have made the seat brackets to work with no mods to console.

    NO....they are 360/360CS/575.

    The carbon sections are identical to the 360CS.....stitch pattern on leather and silver seat belt pass thru are only difference.

    It was just luck....my bid went in with one second remaining and NO bid software can react that fast.

    I will begin polishing the seats next week. Here is a pic of my side mirrors I just finished.

    You are crazy Bruce lol!!! Will you be using stock 3 point or full race harness??

    EDIT: I guess it is mandatory to use those two holes on top, so full harness it is :D

    EDIT2: BTW this nice girl here is looking for some carbon seats to sit in ........ ;)

    What/how do you guys recommend to polish carbon fiber seat? Just like one would polish a car. Seats look fantastic!

    I use Meguiars M205 with a 4″ Tangerine Hydro-Tech pad and a Porter Cable 7424XP D/A polisher.
    After polishing I wipe it down with Meguiars M34 Final Inspection to remove all of the residue from the polish, and then top it off with Blackfire’s Wet Diamond sealant. This adds even more gloss along with a layer of durable protection as well.

    Taz, this was not easy....I finally had to get it made in Germany.

    May want to talk to Rabbit(Jim Downings shop in Atlanta).....he has been doing CF work since the 80's and is one of the best.

    I can do better than carbon seats if she's looking for a place to sit down.
