Thanks for the reply it must be the photographs themselves because the match was so perfect I couldn’t believe it this guy was an artist I have removed seats and even dismantled them to some degree but I wasn’t going to tackle the dye job , that was way too much I do DYI quite a few projects but somethings you got a let the pros do ,and as far as the yellow stripe on the steering wheel It’s the color I first saw many years ago and I thought it was a nice contrast
Randyg308, Looks great!, Just a couple questions/points...1st, at least from the photo's, the re-dye looks lighter? Are they, or is it just the lighting/photo's? If they're lighter - I'd say don't worry about it, if you give them a little time they'll darken a little (at least this is my experience using the Leatherworld product). 2nd, while $1250 isn't a "fortune", if you're willing to do the work, you could have DIY'd them for around $175 in materials (https://leatherworldtech.com/porsche...e-color-chart/) - seeing as you removed the seats yourself, it looks like the work is well within your abilities. Lastly, why the yellow center-stripe on your steering wheel? Blue would work so much better! (sorry, I couldn't help but be a little nitpicky 
)

Redyed my sport seats,I used a company called Fibrenew,after seeing a Ammo/Larry Kosilla video on you tube,I couldn't be happier or more impressed with the quality of work,He did the fronts and rears,1 week downtime,I removed seats and delivered them to his home, he had a nice shop setup in the garage.I researched his work by going on the Fibrenew website, they have photos and reviews, its a franchise business, and my guy has my area Palm Beach,Boca,Delray,Fla.He offered to come to the house to remove the seats, but I took care of that, and the price was lowered by $150.00.Total cost $1240.00.
Is that stainless trim over the row of warning lights? Would love to see a closer shot if so.

Look closely the aluminum trim is also on the dash as a strip and around the instrument guages!

Oddly, I am OK with the lowered ride height. I was nervous about getting in and out of my driveway, but I am ok. I had to crab up it even at stock height.
The Raceworks have both a spring perch and a lower lock ring for adjusting ride height. On the fronts I don't think I have enough threading on the shock body to go up. I am already 2mm over the recommended spring pre-load. I would ask Raceworks for technical help...but who are we kidding? They haven't answered my emails/facebook posts/tweets for over 6 weeks now.

I've got full leather in my car as well, and never noticed that the speaker grills were embossed with Porsche! Now I have to go look (but I won't be home/see my car until Monday 
). I washed it last night with some new stuff I got from Chemical Guys. After washing I noticed a bunch of spots from sitting outside, so I clay-barred it... then washed it again 
... Now it needs a good waxing

Installed Car Chemistry inserts today(3 baffle) to eliminate the drone from the muffler bypass I did roughly a month ago. Made a huge difference and made things a little quieter again which is nice, but still sounds really great when I get on it...

Did it actually eliminate the drone? I've had this combo on my radar.
