I'm out!

What an experience and what a car! I'm still on the road heading home but wow! My son is riding with me. Notice the perfect fit booster seat

Hats off to Porsche for making such an incredible machine! Im thrilled.

Congrats! Who did your custom booster seat? I’m going to need one as well for my inbound Spyder.

That booster looks way better than the Cosco Rise booster I currently have! The Cosco is maybe $20 and fits perfectly in the buckets but the seat is hard plastic covered with a thin piece of cloth so not comfortable for more than a quick drive.

Congrats MrFunk. Beautiful car! Is the center cushion under the headrest factory or something you added? I like the idea of a cushion there but at least in the on-line rendering, it's not there.

Enjoy the journey home with your son. That will be a special trip.

Looks like mine is late to start manufacturing. Hopefully the dates will update in the next day or two.

Just got the TYD update that my car has left Emden. Looks like I made it on the Siem Cicero, a week earlier than TYD had projected.

So the booster seat... I bought the COSCO one for $20 on amazon then took it to a custom upholstery shop in town and had them do their thing. the sides are leather with deviated stich, the center is suede.
I stole the idea for here though https://www.edguardusa.com/product-p...m-booster-seat - I will not take all credit.
It ended up costing me about $200 all in...
