PPS: MY side skirts were also vented. Removed the vents because they were totally unfunctional, just for looks. IMO a big failure...
your interior makes my giblets tingle for sure, but those (GT3?) seats are worth about as much as the rest of the car

have you seen the aftermarket on the CS replica seats ?
these aren't cheap knock offs either. these are killer replicas.

well stated.

Pete's seats were not 968 CS or GT3 ones. Pete and i made molds from friends Recaro Pole Position seat, so seats were more or less self made replicas. Three sets were made; one for Pete, Tommy and me. I never installed mine, sold them to a friend from whose Pole Position was used when mold was made. He installed my former seats to his current Boxster.

Here's my youngest son Peter is testing friends self made seats




Here's Peter several years ago testing Tommy's 951 seats

Has anyone mentioned indicators in the mirrors ? This would have to be mandatory in a modern 944 wouldn't it ?
