    We all want them…….
    The best option seems to be to buy another car that has them. Lol

    Not sure what you would do for seatbelts on a convertible with the carbon seats.

    Giulia Quad? How do you like it? I've always thought those would be a cool daily driver.

    These are the dream right here. For my Connelly beige interior is my best bet sourcing the carbon seats in any color (most likely black?) and having them redone to match?

    It doesn’t appear anyone has found an exact match to our Connolly (Autolux) leathers. It will look off compared to everything else in the interior. You can certainly collect samples until you’re happy with one, but it will be quite a task.


    The gentleman who last paid $27.5k for a pair of black seats purchased them to re-do in tan. Not sure how he’s gonna pull it off.

    Carbon seats are not abundant in the parts market and there’s a line of owners who want them.

    Your best bet is to find an F1 car with them, swap the seats, and sell the F1 car.

    Looks like I may have to look at other options lol

    Do 360/430/550 seats direct bolt into 355s?

    Can be retrofitted on and has been done before. 550 carbon seats are just as unobtanium as 355 carbon seats.

    If you’re willing to re-do all tan sections of your interior while doing the seats, that will insure a match. However, I would source interior pieces from wrecked cars and leave ur original pieces alone.

    Sounds like a lot of coin and work. If my interior were in poor condition I would definitely consider this route

    Apologies for slight OT but those rear seats looks exactly same as in my AAA-powered daily, MB EQE 350 4M, AMG line.

    Managed to post a family pic hopefully this is the right ones this time. Anyway, just to stir the pot. Have recently taken these out and put original seats back in car. Plan was to run the regular seats whilst getting the others retrimmed. Only thing is I think I prefer the standard seats. Going to run it for a while then decide. Anyone else gone from carbon to regular?

    Those are going to be tough to climb into....hope you're tried them out in person. Something like a Recaro Pole Position is still a one-piece shell but far easier in terms of ingress/egress.
