Those look awesome. I would kill for a set in GR. The belts are a great move, too. ....Can't wait to see this thing done.

Thumbs up

For our Rivi Blue bros--

Mike-- Hard to imagine your 993 being any more incredible. I don't have words.

Bill-- I LOVE the look of anything like factory Speedster seats! Your Pole Positions are sick & slick.

Wow, can't wait to see the finished product!

I am wondering how the GR belts would look with the tan interior...

Bob:

Some things I leave to the pros, however I did get the seats back disassembled from the shop when I had the backs painted. I looked the seat backs over and they are pretty much bolted on the frame. The leather covers have a bead that slips into a channel on the seat backs. How to remove all that is a guess at best.

IMHO I think painted seat backs that match the exterior always looks good. Can you have someone here Photoshop the look?

Hey Tim:

Wheels got delayed by 6 weeks. Ain't life grand? Should be all coming together at the same time. Glad I did change the wheels the Alesio's will finish the car perfectly.

^^^^Can't wait! Now if people would stop posting links for cool coloured 993s (like a certain Turquoise cab), I could get some crazy ideas out of my head!

Hi Mike
I only wish I could get HB seat for my birthday . Those look good . The other day saw a Ocean blue 993 with black interior and he put the riviera blue seat belts and they look out of place , It is the only riviera blue thing in that car but I think they will look awesome in yours .

On the plus side I just got my car back yesterday . Now I have new lenses all around , black ceramic exhaust tips , nice gemballa black wheels with polish ring and new roof & headliner .
I am ready for the summer .

Btw ... you checked out the 97 993 "turquoise blue " cab in " for sale " forum ?

Cheers Guy

Glad you got your car done and ready to go. I did see the Turq. Cab for sale. That looks good, but I am hanging my hat and wallet up after this project. +993 what Tim says PICS PLEASE.
