A bit OT:
I stopped by Joe's last night to have a look at the new addition to the family. First impression its a much smaller car than images depict, both inside and out. Its a very pretty car. Joe handed me the keys and said " take your wife out for a ride" I declined and asked him to drive
Rewind to its release I was the first to jump on the bandwagen protesting PDK, the 9A1 block, digitization of the 911 blah blah blah. After 2 mins of driving 25 through the neighboorhood I was sold. This car is special. Then after a proper warm up Joe and PDK went to work. The sound, acceleration, downshift rev matching shocked me. I drove my ~600hp 997TT to Joes and felt as if I had no buisness in this fight.
I thanked Joe for possibly hurting my bank account in the next year, went home, took a cold shower, started drafting a "for sale" thread.
Sorry for going OT. Joe a big congrats and thanks for the ride!!!!

So no Velcro?
The flap can be cut off, or it's just to Velcro in place under the seat?
On my 997's I thinned out the cushion so I'd sit way deeper in the seat.
On track I remove the cushion.
They look great but I need easily removable.

Here is a pic of the bottom of the passenger side seat. You can see where the cutout should go, and you can also see the bladder for the seat occupancy detector.

Thanks. So weird that it's different for the passenger seat. Looks like a mistake.
Those flapps hanging loose in front of the seat is no improvement.
Hopefully someone with a CS package can post some installed pics of the roll bar, seat belts, sub bar and pass through.

Would love to see a picture of a Euro spec CS package with the LWB seats.

Don't get me wrong, I love the LWB seats and would option them again in a heartbeat. I'm just noting the subtle differences in position between the GT2 and LWB seats. It seems that Porsche made these small adjustments to handle the non-stop complaints about how the seats are uncomfortable because they are too upright, and to accommodate the ever increasing waistline of people...
Gratuitous underbody shot and silly mod pics:
(Thanks, Eurotom!)

Question: Which field of view do you setup your go pro at? Wide/Med/Narrow?
