More bothersome to me is the texture and color is different from the seat belts. Not a deal breaker for the cost (free) but enough to bother me that for my car's one-year anniversary I bit the bullet to get some OEM ones ($550) which are ridiculously priced for $.40 of material but it is what it is.

I have been running the Porsche rubber mats since new. However, I prefer a more organic feel under foot.

I previously have liked Coco Mats in other cars as they are nice and thick, absorb any moisture that may get on them, and actually help with sound deadening (not that it will help in a Spyder). I went with the black with blue specs. Hopefully it will work with my black/blue interior and add a splash of color.

So I got a call from 4wheelspacers and they wanted to know if the 2023 718 GT4 hub is 5 tab, 3 tab, or no tabs, Does anybody know the answer?

Thanks!

edit: so it looks like it’s 5 tabs based on the discussion here.

I bought a Launch X431 CRP919E so I can do some coding tweaks like gauge illumination, disable the seatbelt song, remap the coolant temp etc.

Well, then I'm unsure. They are on back order but once I get them they should have a PN on them.

991-555-521-06-D5C. Seems like they’ve been on back order since inception…

Thanks, ordered 8mm spacers to fit my 11" Carrera Classic II (et52) at the rear. Let's see how quickly they can ship
