I have only seen these once in person, however I believe BOCA was the company that supplied them. The ones on the link look identical to the ones I saw before, however the one issue you may encounter with these seatbacks is slight fitment issues. I'd try getting in touch with BOCA first, before going through these guys. I personally love them though. Can't ever have enough carbon fiber.

Roswell has the carbon fiber seatbacks on his, and they were from BOCA as well.

I have also seen them done in white on a couple of cars.

No personal experience on sssmotorsport though, they are in the UAE...shipping might be a bit lol.

They're even using Roswell's pictures on their website to sell them

I'm sensitive to that kind of stuff. I guess your pictures are in the public domain, but that's not even their product. Maybe it's Boca that should be annoyed by that.

Just a shady move. I'd steer clear.

I can't speak for this company seatbacks, but mine are from BOCA & I have them for about 6 years now no problem with peeling, yellowing or fading. Very good quality.

Yeah. Because carbon fiber add 2 hp bro!

OP, I have no experience with these people but they sound sketchy. I'd stick with stock until you can track down some CF seatbacks from a reputable company.

Never been a fan of "stuck on" Carbon fiber. The seat backs look cool and all. But they look pretty cheap around the side bolster controls and air bags.

try eBay they always have them for sale.

I think the same thats why I am getting my carbon guy to make proper ones to replace the originals.

If the actual seatbacks weren't so damn hard to remove in the first place, I would have gotten mine painted to match the car's exterior. Wish it was easier!
