Hey Joe,
Looks great!

What brand seat heaters did you use?

diamond stitching? removed/redone? I'm not following. What was wrong with them?

The seat heaters were installed by Heritage into the cushions for me. I believe it was a company called carbon tech

I'm relieved. It was only a matter of time before you and your Evo make me look slow out there.

Yes, the replacement has zero chance of keeping up with you. I'll track that car when I need an excuse. I'll track the spyder when I need a benchmark test.

The Evo has been paid for and will be picked up this weekend. Reasons for selling are numerous, which I'll go into later in a thread I'll make for you guys. A replacement should hopefully be here soon. It's not a Porsche, though...

If only you had that red stiching :-)

Thanks, man. If only I wasn't an impulsive buyer and did some proper research beforehand, I would have had a properly spec'd car from the beginning... A huge ape came off my back the day I installed the sport bucket seats in my car...

Well, that was fast... I'm still trying to sell my Boxster S!! I know, terrible time of year for selling convertibles.

I think Joe was getting a BRZ. Oh, sorry for stealing your thunder..

drove a BRZ a couple of months ago and was very impressed with the handling and overall balance of the car. Nice choice!

I requested the same alcantara insert as you (different color) and I asked that they also do a diamond stitch. Didn't come out that great. Size is off. Might have been a better idea just to do a flat surface. And my foam didn't fill the inserts as well as yours did. Might have to add a little to fill the slack. Should be OK once I adjust.
