Great job, and now you have a unique one-of-a-kind look. Other P-car owners will be asking you about that nonstop.

Ordered an Escort MaxCam 360C radar detector, a Blendmount and a add a fuse wiring kit that I will install next weekend. Also dropped the Spyder off to Hughes Detailing in Miami to have it Ceramic Coated, decided to go with the Modesta BC-05 coating, they're also doing the glass, calipers, wheels and leather. Looks stunning from the pics I've seen so far. I will put a link to their site if you're looking for a detailing shop in South Florida. The guy in charge at Hughes it Brandon.

Nice, one in leather would look great in my car.

I did the same thing a few months ago (I have since fixed the "P"):

The blue looks cool, I must say. For me, I kinda like how the shiny letters pop. Especially considering it's the only lettering on my car anywhere outside the car.

This is why cars are such a great hobby - customization.

I ordered my GTS without the model lettering too - just like yours (Carmine Red for me). So maybe that PORSCHE pop works better in that mode.

Happy to answer any question you have. I removed it myself. Pretty easy, you just remove the bumper cover then there are 3 bolts on each side of the beam to remove the beam. Fedex boxed and shipped it for me. Guru racks will send you instructions on how to remove the bumper cover and bumper beam.

Quick update. Took a 5:30 drive with the New Recaro Podium and it is very comfortable. Can highly recommend for anyone looking for new seats for their car.

Please post pic of your wheels with these bolts when you get them

A follow-up question about the inboard seat belt latch: in the picture the latch is clearly outside the seat and up against the center tunnel. Are you able to push the latch through the side hole in the seat? If the belt is latched in the position shown in the picture, the belt will be resting on the seat and not able to cinch down on the pelvis when the belt tensions up during an accident. Otherwise, this looks awesome!

I'd love to know the details on the seat and mounting hardware! Where did you order them, and how much?

It seems we are actually going to have winter this year, so I decided to buy Michelin Pilot Sport All Season tires. The last two years I could find some warm days to take the car out, but it’s been in the twenties. We’ve had far more cold and snow than the last two years.

The reviews seem excellent on them, so I am looking forward to trying them out. Has anyone else installed these?
