    My 458 spider has arrived at dealer. One of the special options I requested was to do the racing seats but with daytona pattern. I like the look of the daytona stitch but wanted to retain the sportiveness of the racing seat at the same time.

    I am happy with the way they turned out, best of both worlds I think

    I thought about doing this. It came out amazing!!!! Did they hit you for the Daytona seat cost plus the racing seat cost? One of the reasons I said no is I couldn't get a firm cost or schedule.

    Very nice. I narrowly prefer the six-pack look of the regular race seat but you win big points for originality. Your seats might just be comfier too.

    It gives the Daytona style a new lease, this blend with the space age carbon seats is a fresh option for those not wanting to let go of past elegance but would like what the race seats have to offer. A great marriage...

    Racing seats with diamond sticking looks fantastic to these eyes. I'd imagine most would think its clashing but can't help thinking how great it would look with contrasting stitching

    Ok guys, so we all like the racing seats in daytona pattern but the million dollar question remains unanswered, what do they cost? Given the already high price of racing seats these would be in prohibitive territory for most potential purchasers.

    ps. also the page from the ordering guide posted earlier in thread does seem to eliminate this option for the US market. It is not clear if OP is from the US market.

    I never got a firm answer if it was possible or what it costs but if you look at the difference in price between the standard seats and Daytona's, you're looking at $3400 for those stripes.

    To me, it's logical that price would be added to the racing seat costs which are already over $8 grand.

    I am in the US. I worked with someone from FNA who requested from the factory whether they could do these. Hard to tell what they charged me because it was embedded in "special options" but I believe around 3500.
