Actually going to make a print of their work for the pool room.

Recommend them and great job guys.
Yeah, they some for me too. Great work and very helpful in the visualization process.

Hi, will do a bit closer to delivery, prefer to keep the detail close for now sorry. But it was more a note for anyone thinking through different ideas, to give them a go. Easy to deal with.

That will look very very nice. Red or Black stitching on interior. Colored seatbelts?

Very nice. Do the sport bucket seats also have "the stripes"?

- as stated previously, I love White more than expected. The car looks so much better in person
- love the LWB's, they are very comfortable and fit me well
- PCCB's already squeak a little...doesn't bother me
- engine sound from inside reminds me of air cooled 911's - I like that
- noise at freeway speeds was much less than expected. Noise was only somewhat high on rough/old asphalt
- standard radio is much better then expected. Glad I didn't spend the money on Bose
- as noted many times, very difficult to stay under 4,000 RPM
- I love how stealthy the touring is
- can't wait to drive the car tomorrow
- the car is spectacular and seems to get better with every mile
-
Congrats on your new GT3 Touring - look forward to hearing how it drives as you break it in. Enjoy

Hey Chris, whats your thought on the corduroy seats after a week or so of ownership?

As someone who specced almost the same car as you I have to admit im not feeling it so far. Maybe they are better in real life?

I really like the material. It's soft, breaths well, and no sliding around. For me, the look is perfect.

Sorry, but the bottom of the photo gets cut off when uploading, so you't can see the bottom cushion much.

Im a little shocked, those seats look 1000% better than the wingy seats with the stripe.

Chris, beautiful white Touring. Congrats.

I recall seeing pictures in the past where those inserts are simply held in with Velcro from the factory. Is this the case on the Touring as well?

On the fence about burning $3k for Houndstooth... I like the look of that black material, and if it's close to Alcantara in snugness it'll be hard to justify.
