    So Pat Pat, hopefully you can move these to the classifieds or maybe a mod can help you. I'm sure you can find a buyer.

    These look like 360 challenge seats. No?

    Normaly "Challenge" is written on the seat, or?

    These seat is an ordinary OMP Grip, made in 2005, material is glass fibre. The Challenge seats were made in Carbon fibre. But they are nice anyway! But I think you have to correct the price.. ;)

    Seems like a crazy high price for a used pair of old OMPs

    You would think so, but I was looking at a pair of factory Recaro's for my RX7 and they want $4000 - $5000 for them. If keeping original is important to people I guess they will pay.

    Definately not F355 Challenge seats. I believe mine look different. The date code looks later too.

    Nice seats that look very close to the original type, but not 355C seats as confirmed 2005 date code ands the model label.

    OMP VID carbon kevlar
    OMP VID carbon
    it depends on when the kit was ordered.

    sorry little precision
    the seats for challenge are VID carbon CS 665 95 ( 4,7kg / 5,3kg ), and RAC carbon kevlar HA 683 ( seat weight 5.5 kg / 5.9 kg )
    i' ve been looking at old catalogues from omp , and you never find those models....
    i do guess that it was a special production.....
    the closest that you could buy ( i am not sure that they are still available ) is ( or was ) HA 679 , ARS carbon , but they are from 2007 and they are heavyer , but they look like the VID and RAC )
