Removal of US market carbon bucket seat 'plug'
How do we remove this plug? It's US market specific I believe.

Take a credit card. Slip between seat and plug in back. Pops right out. Not sure what regs it addresses. Looks much better with it out though.

Well OK then, agreed, the holes in the seat are cool. I'll try it once my car lands in the US, cheers. (picture taken in Austria)

Fair enough. (I'll take my chances
)
A merge of US & Euro regs would be great, I thought this was in the works but the sooner the better.

We don’t want that. Euro emissions are tougher than ours now.

I want to know who was in the back taking the photo. Looks like the car is in motion so I assume someone is stuffed in behind the seats.

Great to know that it comes out. I will do the same upon arrival of my GT3T in March.

If you plan to use the Simpson Hybrid Hans Device you need to leave them in or the device will rub against the carbon fiber seatback.

Perfect job for toddlers, short legs and willing to work for nothing more than a functioning Netflix account.
