    Hello everybody, and thanks for all help you can share.
    As i said in other post, https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/seats-f355-lhd-rhd.654406/
    i found carbon seats.
    I would like some help for explaining me how install carbon seats?
    That is to say, how to dismantle the sports seats, and how to reinstall I imagine, on the slides already screwed to the floor of the 355, normal seats. If you have any photos to share, of course I take...
    Good Sunday my friends

    Shame, they were as new, very beautiful as now mine, but it was a bit difficult between cost shipping, vat... Customs taxes..

    Seat removal, four 6.0 mm hex screws, two front, horizontal, two rear. Suggest using Ball Head hex driver due to the carpet thickness in front of the seat. The connector, drivers side only is for the seat belt latch warning.

    Hello Shineken, don't be worried for me, thank you for advising, in fact, thoses photos are coming back from Japan seller. As i said, mines are the same color but it's not them on the photo.

    @classe ock asked me pictures, I took Japanese photos.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the seat is removed this way by the 4 screws, there is nothing left attached to the floor of the vehicle? So the lower slides are dismantled with the seat and remain attached to the seat?

    Correct, there is nothing left on the floor, except for the attachment brackets which are welded to the floor frame. The rails can be removed from the seat once the seat is out of the vehicle, however unsure of the fitment to the carbon seat, if your new seat doesn’t come with rails.

    Ok, it will be easy, thank you very much, the rails and slides are on the seats so no problem, just be careful unscrewing the 4 screws and disconnecting the electrical plug of the seat belts. Thank you very much for all these explanations
