They look like factory seat with the added fsport logo. Even if you could buy them, factory seats are about $6k each!

If they added larger bolsters, then it would have been worth while.

They are structurally identical to factory seats. The difference is the logo added on the leather upper and there is fabric instead of leather on the center panels. I am sure if you went to a good seamstress she may be able to stitch an F-Sport Logo into your existing seats. Would certainly be cheaper than buying new seats.

Also dont see any benefit from new seats. Cost several grand each. And no benefit. If the seat had larger adjustable bolsters, and a seat cushion extender like on the BMWs then it might have some appeal (although even then not worth several grand). But buying new seats to get a logo at a cost of several grand makes no sense.

If it is a couple of gran then obviously I will not get them. Just thought they were interesting seats. Id rather have some sort of red stiching in the seats to match the Matedor red color...

Whats up with the Passionate red carpets? Has anyone seen them yet on a GS ?

It looks like a stock seat with the F sport logo stitched in and the center of the back and bottom of the seat have been replaced with material that I dont think looks so hot. I would pass on this if they are even available
