finally some pictures of my car. not only is it done with my ****ty iPhone 5 camera, my phone camera seem to have gotten some dirt in it which comes out as a black dot in some pictures.
Black Satin wheels - another CXX option.
Full leather seat - no Alcantara inserts. Another CXX option.
CLP - Door Panel in Leather/Alcantara.
Pedals and Footrest in Aluminum - i am loving the look! If you think they are slippery - you are dead wrong.
Congrats! Car looks awesome. Digging all the extra leather bits. Are the seats cooling too? Didn't think Porsche used perforated leather unless there was cooling
Congratulations!!! The car looks fantastic. And I especially love what you did with the interior. I had no idea they could do so much custom work! The satin black wheels are so cool, and hopefully won't be much trouble to keep looking that way with PCCB. Thanks for posting your photos! Feel free to post more anytime!! All around, great job putting this car together!

No, for the seats to have ventilation, you would have seen the lower part of back side bolsters to have perforations, as with the side bolsters of seat bottoms:
*******
In the case of Anonymous' gt3, you can see they are not perforated...thus his Sport Plus seats are not ventilated.
*******
The perforations on the center inlay parts are standard on all seats (except those with alcantara). So 'Sport Plus' or 'Sport' (as in example below) have the perforations but no ventilation:

If ventilated, Anonymous' seats would have looked like this:

Only opinions out here, but fwiw, I would (and did) wrap the front. As a DD, it makes it a little more hassle-free. Truck in front kicking up sand? No problemo. Bugs? Simply scrub them off with whatever you have handy and don't even worry about creating swirl marks. Or just leave them on for a few days longer and don't sweat it--they're not hurting the paint!
If you bothered to get PTS and plan to DD, it's totally worth it IMO. You hardly even notice the difference appearance-wise.
BTW, I really hope you get a chance to post your GT3s, RSs, and GT4s all together some day, maybe even with their big brother 918s. Family portrait!
Since we're all lovers of Fashion Grey here, figured I'd share this car that is still up for grabs...!
My trusted Porsche guy in NorCal has a Fashion Grey Boxster Spyder coming in a few months. It's beautifully spec'd, but while the paint is locked (PAG is being weird about PTS), I believe some, or all, of the options are still configurable. (It's got P11 LWB's confirmed!!)
Let me know if anyone's interested, and I'll make the intro.
Better yet, post here, and he may reach out to you himself. He's a board sponsor, and I'm sure you can guess who it is.
