Thanks for all your help.... but i ordered a new set of "Turbo S" brake ducts to trade with someone that has a used set of Techart Brake ducts. I am familiar with how to install these so i am not too worried.

Thanks Again!

Default UPDATE - Speedster Clamshell
Test fitting the rear clamshell and adjustment before final install.... i can't even imagine how many times this was done.


Note: 964 clamshell, you can tell by the supporting frame/hinge:


The guys at LA Dismantlers (Daniel et.al.) worked into the morning to get ahead on the install...

Now to get the springs on, and the wheels spaced properly....

X 993

Ben, It could be the camera angle but are you happy with the gap over the right fender?

Will look into it.... it's very difficult for me to judge by pictures....

Hmm, is it me or is the C2S grille a different shade of white than the rest of the car?

I'd also replace the stone guards on the rear fenders. FDM sells their pre-cut sets for a very reasonable price.

I'm very impressed by the amount of work that's been accomplished in just 23 days ... it's nothing short of amazing.

Yes, thank you for noticing.... it is off by a shade or two.... without hesitation, it is being repainted. These guys are doing a lot in very little time. I know they stand behind everything, and want the car to be 100% (or as close to it as possible).... i'm also getting the feeling that they want to keep it ...but that's not going to happen..... also, the stone guards are on order

more pics coming soon....

Default UPDATE - Seats
So... this is where we are at with the seats....

Logo:


Upper Portion:


Back with heated seat element:


Lower part with heated seat element:

Note the pattern of the heating element in the white material, this part can be cut to fit and it will not break continuity to the rest of the part. That is what is so special about this product... normally it is one "wire" that zig-zags through the material, and if it breaks at one point it stops working completely.

Leather is OEM Porsche Black, and White leather.

more to come soon....
