Pick up day!

I was amazingly lucky to get this. I had given up on chances of getting this, with dealer lists having 18 people before me. Then it was supposed to be an Atlanta Sales Training car with under 1,000 miles, but it showed up with only 14 miles and never made it to Atlanta. Cherry on top? No dealer mark up.

^ Fabulous! Good to see the pictures and read the end to the first part of the story about you and your new GT4.

Happy Easter!

Thanks! The seat inserts are from Gary at CassicFX in England, the fabric is OEM Porshe originally made available in the GT3, Sport Tex, it makes getting into the LWBS much easier as it allows you slide down into them, made a real difference over the Alcantara. These were less expensive than P1 as they do not include the foam, like the OEM cover they simply replace the covers that came with the car.

The shifter of is also OEM GT3 (992), they all come with Yellow markings and a Race Tex grip, lower body in mat black, the boot that comes with it when ordered only fits the GT3 console so it is not used. Other than that it is a direct replacement.

Then you will love the interior!

A few more pictures taken during the change: GT4 Yellow manual shift **** same as GT3? - Page 4 - Rennlist - Porsche Discussion Forums

Well, that's my interior sans the carbon fiber. I went Chalk with all that trim. My build was just getting too expensive after adding leather seat backs. Yours looks fantastic.

Thanks for that, looking forward to pictures of yours when it arrives! IIRC you have a 911R CF shift **** already in hand...

Not in hand yet. Ebay purchase on its way. Supposedly. Got it for $650 so I doubt the seller is thrilled with the deal.

Car is on vessel arriving in San Diego tomorrow but I probably won't see it until June 10 as I scheduled a little vacay based upon TYD's original estimates. Estimates that ultimately got pushed back three weeks. But I am chomping at the bit at this point.

EDIT - NVM saw where you went with the 911R shift ****. Just threw me off because you kept your original top piece; Nice!

Thanks. You're going to love it. Chalk is an awesome shade/color.

Yeah, I got lucky on ebay with that 911R **** for $650. It came with a smooth leather 718 boot so I suspect the guy took the 911 boot and swapped it out. I didn't need the smooth boot because I have the yellow stitched alcantara boot in my car. It definitely looks much better than stock. I'm actually surprised Porsche doesn't offer all of these interchangeable *****/steering wheels/interior trim pieces on every car, GT or not. It's just more money for them.
