About to go get the side scoops painted gt silver, and the little gt4 symbol filled in so the scoop is smooth. I ordered these from suncoastparts and was happy to find out, that contrary to what I'd read on forum, there is no drilling into the bodywork, or modification of any kind required.
You get plastic inserts with predrilled holes.. The scoops screw into the inserts and these pop in. Totally reversible invade you want to go back to car without scoops, but I think they give a beautiful aggressive and factory look.
Now deciding whether after I have them painted I want to carbon wrap them or leave them silver

WOW That pepita looks stunning.
Maybe it is a good idea to produce a complete new set of inserts in stead of reupholstering the existing ones. Enables you to switch and it will help resale when the time comes.

on the scoops, I'd be concerned that nothing is holding the front of the scoops to the car and the two little screws may not hold the scoop rigidly enough. but let us know how it goes...

Yep, That's what I'm doing. Seat guy is cutting new memory foam inserts for me and covering with pepita. Keeping the original ones in storage. Cost estimate around $150/seat. Plus the $100 in fabric. So less than $500... What would Porsche have charged me I wonder... lol
I doubt it's a difference we could tell.. Ecu Magic if anything... She's getting fabspeed exhasut and headers next week so those will add back the power and more

Are you installing the Race Headers? Any other exhaust components?
Thanks!
