    I had to pass on the last 430 I looked at and am still in the market. That being said I will not be likely I will find one with CF seats so I'm on the lookout for CF seats that will fit a 430. What options are out there that won't break the bank?

    I like the look of the Braum Elite-R seats. They look great and I think the firm has a custom option where they will customize/fabricate/modify their products to what you want (eg leather, piping, carbon, etc)

    Their fake leather mass produced seats retail for $800 a set and I have seen them in Corvettes. You can find videos on YouTube of installs.

    I have a set of 488 Daytona seats that came out of a 1k mi car if that might be of interest.

    If you’re wanting the OEM look just buy some OMP seats and get them redone. I think they are only $300 each.

    Nooo not carbon. OMP provided the OEM Challenge seats to Ferrari and they still offer a similar looking seat that can be modified to your desired look that sells for approx $300 ea.

    Are you specially wanting a real carbon seat or just trim?

    I don’t claim to have or even know of any OE Challenge seats for sale, I but am interested to hear what you call a “deal”?

    I personally call a good price or “deal” =/< $3k as no car seats should be over $1-1.5k ea, but most other Ferrari owner/buyers would call me delusional for their own (relative/over spending) reasons as they tend to value OE/aftermarket Ferrari car seats, wheels, and carbon bits at a higher value than I do compared to the same items for other Marques (e.g. BMW, Corvette, Porsche, etc)

    I can agree with that

    I’m not looking for $10k seats. That’s just not something I put that kind of value on.

    That’s still crazy train price to me for an asking or even an actual sale price - but possibly some fools are paying it (money/value is relative), some friends think I waste money on buying Ferrari’s and exotic cars. To each his own right?

    In terms of the seats to put it proportionally, that’s like almost =/>10% of the cars diminishing value.

    Just as a data point that may be helpful- I have purchased 3 sets of CF racing seats (all from Fchatters) in the last 2 years- 2 sets of 458-style racing seats and one set of 360/430 seats. I specced my 458 Spider with racing seats, and my F12 has them as well. I bought the first set [458 style] to put in my 360, so as to afford me more room (I'm 6'5", 240 lbs); I paid $9200 for them. I then bought a set of blk/red [458 style] with the intention or recovering them to use them in an F12 I was looking at at the time; I believe I paid @ 8k for them. A few months back a set of 360 CF seats popped up on Fchat, and I grabbed them right away. Since they're period-correct and still accommodate my frame, I'll now put them in the 360; I paid @ $7500 delivered for them.

    @sherilllt- while technically you're correct vis a vis the seats' *cost* as a percentage of the [ever-diminishing] price of the car, I don't believe that you have the entire *value* equation correct, as you're not taking into account the fact that if you were to ever sell the car in which they're installed, you'd likely remove the seats and re-sell them.

    As far as I'm concerned, they're worth every penny, AND I think you'll end up losing little to no money on them if you buy them right. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

    They really add to the curb appeal of the machine, IMO
