Thanks Richard. Those GT3 seats do look great, but they look like they won't fit ? I just don't see the silver lettering going on the rear bumper. Really like the uncluttered look. Might be adding the Boyo license plate frame back up camera though, hardly noticeable. T

77Tony,
Is it a Porsche color?
If so, what is it?

Very nice color.

Looks fantastic Tony! Blue, silver and black .. what a great combination.

I'm with the others on the seats. They just don't look special enough for such a nice looking car. Your car deserves one off individual designed full leather seats to complete the package ... and if any crest/name it should be Porsche .. not Corbeau, Recaro, etc..

I can't see those seats lasting much longer in your car.

Ever looked at the Cobra Misano? Or the Cobra Historic? They have nice options for their seats as well. I'm sure you could put a custom logo on the seats if you wanted.

You absolutely sure the GT3 seats are too wide?

Great job, one of the best looking GTS i have seen. I love the smooth look!
Full leather seats are nicer i think.

So i guess yhe engine swap to a Corvette engine plan is gone forever now the car is finished?

Default Seats, etc.

Thanks to Dave & Jantje for your compliments. Been carousing e-bay, etc for set of nice, slightly used Recaro's, Sparco's, or maybe a set of the GT3 seats if they will fit. From feedback recieved on RL, the GTS engine is staying put. It does run great, is the original engine, and has only 38,000 miles. T

They fit the theme of your build perfectly...

Tony, looks great.

How about an update on the endplay? Did you stabilize with a PKlamp?

Can you imagine how uncomfortable those would be for a journey of any length other than one on a race track? UGH...my back and butt hurt just from looking at those and I can't even feel most of my back or my butt...

James, I think there's a "that's what she said" line in there somewhere... not sure.

No seriously, I have heard they are more comfortable than they look -but it is the look that would fit with Tony's build. Black/silver/CF... high tech, sleek, purposeful.

Just cool seats period... and Porsche parts.

B, Thanks for watching my back Was thinking more along the lines as the ones below, or maybe ? Ordered a bunch of parts today. The plan is to perform the rest of the mechanicals that have not already been done when the parts arrive. End play measurement, PKlamp, TB & WP, Porken tensioner kit, new intank fuel pump, X-Pipe, high flow cats, PSD Flush, brake flush, check ride height & align, etc, etc, etc. T
