    Thanks for taking a look.

    A couple months ago I started searching for a set of these for my newly acquired Ferrari 360. I wanted to improve the seating position over the original seats. I was fortunate enough to find the perfect pair and they are working out better than I could have expected.

    Then recently one one of the sources I was working with to find these very hard to come by seats contacted me with these. I just couldn't say no as I had plans to also purchase a F430 so I thought I'd scoop these up while I had the opportunity.

    My plans have changed so I've decided to sell these now. Before I place on eBay, etc I wanted to offer them up here as I'm sure there's fellow forum member who has been looking for a long time also. Obviously these are very hard to come by.

    These seats will bolt right into 360's as well as F430's. I installed mine in my 360 myself and it was totally straight forward and would be a job anyone with a bit of mechanical ability could do. I'd be happy to help the buyer with any questions or even photos I have if needed.

    I'm asking $10,000 for the pair but I'm certainly willing to entertain offers. These seats are as close to perfect as a used seat can be. I can't find any signs of wear in the alcantara or a single blemish on the carbon fiber. I know the color is not the most desirable however having an upholstery shop make new leather or alcantara covers is not very expensive or they could be dyed black pretty easily as well. I'd also consider selling the seats that are currently in my 360 (black seats pictured) and then I would have custom covers made for the grey seats and install them in my car. That option would involve some additional costs but it's certainly an idea I would consider.

    Please Pm me if you're interested. Shipping is not a problem and I will pack and arrange shipping at no cost. Buyer pays actual shipping cost. There's several posts here regarding the installation of 458 racing seats in 360/F430s and anyone who's fortunate enough to have these enjoys them as much as I do. Such a big improvement over the stock units. Especially for us taller guys in need of additional headroom. It's been an absolute game changer for me personally.

    Again, thanks for looking.

    Dropping price to $9500. You won't find a better price on a set of these anywhere in the world right now.

    How much for the seats that are currently in the car? The black ones.

    Those are in perfect shape also. Just bought them before the grey ones. I would sell for $13,000 which is slightly less than I paid. These seats are crazy expensive unfortunately...however, worth every penny imo.

    I could have my local upholstery shop make custom covers for the grey seats also to match any interior. This shop does all the custom and repair work for the local Ferrari dealer, Lake forest sports cars. He quoted me $2500 for new custom leather or alcantara covers for the grey seats so that's an option as well and I could take care of arranging this.

    They do.. Small, medium and large. These are large. Thank you for asking, I definitely should have included that information in the description.
