Any opinions on period Porsche 911 seats?
I think they look great but they don't appear as popular as I expected.

Are they the bernie runners as well, did you have to remove the stock seat runners (on floorpan) to fit them?

Hi, here are the empi bucket seats, they look comfortable but they aren´t! the other thing is you have to modify the mounts, otherwise you look like a dwarf by driving your bug!! ( i´m 1,9m tall, and all you can see is my head!!)
Only for drag-racing it´s OK!!

They are Bernard's runners, and you don't have to remove the original runners. The only problem I have with them is that the seats don't move far enough forward- not that I'm a short arse! - but if you wanna get someone in the back they literally have to climb over. nice one, you got a better pic of your 67 please?

Buggy low back are my favourites but then again I would say that  I slid my manx seats on their stock runners into my friends 63 bug the other day and they just looked perfect and they felt pretty good to sit in too  |

Here are some good options http://gts-classics.com/seats.htmlClick on the thumbnails to see options and prices. You can also get tilt-brackets so that you can access your rear seat more easily. |

I have the Nürburgring 910 leatherette / corderoy seats with matching door panels in my car. The seats are really nice to sit in.. |

 I like these. SCAT seats without headrests. Very adjustable for height. |

For me: Poly High Back, perfect side support, bad for your rear end, perfect for your spine Covers are relatively cheap for creating something new like Fat Biscuits. |
