in leather, probably around $2300 for the set including hardware. you could then buy the oem mounting brackets (which i'd recommend) for around $650, and have a shop reupholster the inserts in #9002 alcantara for about $800 (guessing here).
you'd have something pretty close to the recaro seats at a fraction of the cost. the differences would be the nappa leather (which is <i>so</i> nice though!), the embossed recaro logos (aftermarket recaro seats tend to have screaming recaro logos) and the painted seatbacks. also, no guarantees that the brackets and seat holes would be compatible.
also, keep in mind that these do not recline -- so you really want to remove the back seats before installing them (lest you end up with a pretty silly looking setup). so you'll either want to do the oem seat removal setup, or something custom.

i need to double-check some numbers, but i believe:
quattro sport seat, including hardware, is a little under 22 pounds (15.25 for the shell, and 3.3 pounds (x2) for the mounts). standard seat is 53 pounds. so, that's ~62 pounds saved for the front.
quattro sport rear weighs 7 pounds, including netting. the standard rear seat setup weighs 42 pounds total. so that's ~35 pounds saved for the rear.
