Haha good catch Simon To clarify: if the delivery is significantly delayed due to something on my end (not changes or delays from the customer), I’m happy to offer a full refund, but not a free set I take timelines seriously and only commit to what I know we can deliver. But you’re absolutely right, always good to be clear ✌️

These are stunning. I’m fortunate to have my dream spec F355 with original sport seats, but if I had standard seats I would be replacing them with Reza’s Carbon Seats.
Have any customers received their seats yet? I'm interested in placing an order for the second run, but would like to see some customer feedback first.
Hi Steve Thanks for following the project. Yes, the first customer sets of Ferrari 355 carbon seats are now complete, and we’re currently finalizing packaging and logistics. Shipping begins next week. These are exact OEM-spec reproductions built in collaboration with Zanasi in Maranello (Ferrari’s official paint and trim supplier). We’ve used high-gloss carbon fiber prepreg, original Autolux leathers (Beige 4208, Nero 8500, Bordeaux 4481, etc.), and the seats include correct stitching, embossed Cavallino. All of the customer seats (355) are already crated and ready for dispatch, I’ll be sharing real delivery photos and customer feedback on this thread as soon as sets start arriving. We’ve invested heavily in getting every detail right, from the molds to the upholstery and I think the results will speak for themselves very soon. Thanks again for the interest, – Reza carbonseats.com
Most of the time of the initial run went into tooling, pattern making, and raw material sourcing. Timelines were a bit optimistic no doubt, but I can’t imagine further runs from here on out taking nearly as long.
We’re proud to share a behind-the-scenes look at the carbon seat upholstery for one of our early believers @MAD828 Thank you for the trust, Elliott. Your set is coming to life Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

I'm interested in purchasing a set in black, but for the price I have to be honest I need to see customers actually confirm and show they received seats. We're over 6 months into this when advertised as 4-5 weeks.
Hi Matt, Totally fair point and I appreciate your honesty. We’ve taken a no-compromise approach with the Ferrari 355 and 550 seats, working directly with Zanasi Group in Maranello (the same team behind Ferrari Classiche interiors) and using original-spec Autolux hides. That level of OEM accuracy has led to some delays, especially since Zanasi operates more like a restoration atelier than a fast-paced aftermarket supplier. That being said, all new orders will be made within 2 months. The first batch is now completed. Shipping is underway, and the first customers including a few respected names in the Ferrari community will start receiving their seats shortly. Once delivered, I’ll post confirmed customer photos here in the thread, so the quality can speak for itself. Also worth noting: we’re no longer offering the original launch price. New orders are now priced at €25,000 + shipping, reflecting the true cost of low-volume production at this level. Appreciate you keeping it real. For me, it’s more important to earn trust through results than to rush something just to get quick sales. Best regards, Reza
Custom-Made Brackets for Seat Belt Integration Each set of our Ferrari 355 seats includes a pair of precision-fabricated steel brackets, specifically designed to: • Secure the seat belt buckle to the side of the seat • Support the lower seat belt mount with OEM-correct positioning • Ensure safe and seamless installation in factory seat rails These brackets are CAD-designed and handcrafted to match original Ferrari dimensions, powder-coated in black, and pre-threaded to accept OEM hardware. They are a critical component for both safety and functionality, and allow you to retain full 3-point seat belt use without any modifications to the chassis or seat rails.

Thank you Reza for all the hard work. Patiently waiting for my second batch set and appreciate all of your communication and transparency. Packaging for round one looks fantastic. Cheers!
Hey Matt, I have wired Reza money for cars and parts many times. Zero worries. If you want a set, the price is fair and you will eventually get your seats. I have zero concerns about the money and the product. Timelines are tough when dealing with these types of craft services. All the best and I hope you buy a set before you cannot. -Cheers.
Thanks so much Rob, I truly appreciate your continued support and your words here mean a lot. We’re finalizing your second set now and I’ll send updates shortly. Grateful to work with clients like you, this project wouldn’t exist without trust like that – Reza
