Thanks for the additional pics. Beautiful car. Now how 'bout that tow eye plate mount. Where can I get one? look like a perfect solution. Thanks

(p.s., I'm using a front license plate in the pic because I was on the PCH in Malibu with a lot of CHP around; it's a tow eye mount. Normally I have it off, as long as I know I'm not parking on the street or it's not on weekends when the cops are out.) btw, the car was originally sold by Concours Motors, in your neighborhood. The original owner bought all his Porsches there (I'm the second owner.)

Mine comes from here: http://stores.promountequipment.com/...Categories.bok

Local company (for me) and extremely well made. A bit more $$ than others, but again it's well machined and it's easy on and easy off.

This link has a better description of the materials used, etc: http://stores.promountequipment.com/...997/Detail.bok

I wasn't that fond of my midnight blue interior either when I first got my car, but it does grow on you. I like it much better than black or gray. However, I have been contemplating adding some black accents in the door panels to match the dash.

Nice. I would not have expected that color dying over black would look that good.

Me neither, looks great!
By the way Steve, I noticed that one of your "future cars" is a Sunbeam Tiger. My dad had a '65 Tiger when I was a kid. I loved that car, it was like a mini Cobra. He used to scare the hell out me in it...and I love it.
I have looked for one from time to time, it's getting harder to find a decent example, good luck!

I like your chances of finding a set of MB sport seats better than my chances of finding Boxster Red!

There are a couple outfits that can convert your seats I think. Maybe Heritage?

Midnight blue is one of the best colors by the way.

Hi,
I am getting my Hard Back Seats this week!! I want to paint the backs Speed Yellow.
Anyone one know the procedure to get the backs painted? Recommendations in SoCal?

Thanks!

That is stunning. I'm a Boxter red interior fan. Beautiful. Do you know this car?

Great looking interior. I've been thinking about doing my center console to match the exterior also. Like your instrument face dials in white, mind if I ask where you got them? Thanks.
