I was waiting all week to see these! Great job Doug, it looks far, far better than I expected!!! Does everything really coordinate as well as it looks in the picture?
Hope you had quality time with Mickey!

The car does look great. All of the colors in person match very well and I think the car looked better in person. It looked like a totally different car when we slid the driver's seat in and stepped back for a look.
The weight reduction is incredible. The stock seat are so heavy while these bad boys are lighter than you think they will be when you go to pick them up.

Constructive criticism is welcomed. Should I tone down the seat insert cushions on the front and make them all black. The way it is now is exactly the way Porsche release the Turbo S seats color scheme wise. I like the idea of stock look, but I don't want it to be too loud.
Any suggestions. BTW, the dahs is staying. I am happier with the dash than any thing else I have done to the car. It looks incredible in person and the pictures do not do the dash justice. So, my focus is on the seat insert color.

I think your doors need a little splash of red, Doug, to tie it all together.

no problem with the seats at all, I think they look good, though the direction isn't my taste. (Not a criticism, just a personal reaction to the red & all -- I'm more of a 'minimalist' I guess )
My suggestion is more with all the wiring hanging all over the place -- reminds me too much of intensive care -- can all that be hardwired somehow? (Again, just a personal choice.)
That said, you're turning it into a very special car indeed! J

It's hardwired for a V1 which recently ballistic on laser band. Bright lights or reflections are setting it off. The G-Techs usually don't stay in there. I just left them in there from the last time I drove the car.
Red on the doors is what interior shop wanted to do. I am not sure how far I want to take it.

I'm really enjoying watching this take place and am grateful to Doug for sharing the thought process right through the install and final presentation! GREAT STUFF! (and this is from a rice hater...!!!) :-)

Doug H,
I this is a great job. I want to bo hounest with you, and I have to say that I don't like the improvements. I like the seats, even the colour fits perfect, but sorry....... I don't like your dash improvement. It's a matter of taste.
I can see on your car that you are very good for the 911, and nothing is too much for you.
I hope you don't blame me for my opinion.
Have fun with your new things! I hop you find it worth the money.

If you swapped the door panels for the RS type and had red door pulls, I think it would also add to that fast 'racing' look the car has and add ocnsistency and coordination!!

I also agree with Youseff - the original wheel is looking like it needs to go. Dont you love it when other people spend your money!!
As for the final decision on what works, well I reckon that is for you. If you get a kick out of it - go for it. If it is true that the easiest 911's to sell are the stock ones, well you're already so far away from that point (as are most of us) that making it into a car you really dig makes sense to me.

Looks cool, Doug!
But I agree, let's lose the stock steering wheel next. If you need an airbag, I think the ajusa one is hard to beat (Ruairidh has one, if memory serves).
If you can do without the airbag, here are a couple ideas:
Type 911 (not sure what's involved with fitting this)
Momo Commando

I still have the off white inserts so I can go back. Car not going to be finished today after all. I really need everything done so I can sit back and take it in before I make any final decisions. Everything I have done is reversible.

Joey, that airbag steering wheel looks great. I would love to go non airbag. Any ideas if that is illegal or a problem. I am not sure why it should matter.
