Thanks for the feedback!

I do like them. Got a lot of compliments at a show yesterday. Still may look into the Recaro Orthopeds in the future.

Suspension upgrades in another week!

Got some more interior work done. Center console was recovered with black leather and red stitching. I really like it. Just waiting on the shifter boot/**** and steering wheel. Looking like the beginning of October for that. Interesting enough, I found pics of GT2 seats that look like mine. Tho I think the recommendations given about the red on the bottoms stopping before the last pleat would look really good, the GT2 seats I found actually look like mine! LOL...looking for the pic again.

I've only seen a couple online that had the factory option. Those also have it on the door pads and dash pad, I believe. Unfortunately, I can't get that done, lol. But that's ok, it is good enough for me, esp once the steering wheel and shifter come in.

Wow! That center console turned out amazing! It is very modern looking without being over the top. I am thoroughly jealous….

Thank you. I actually ordered a center console off of ebay so that my original one would be unscathed

Could you please tell me where you got your Scan Gauge? What parameters does it include? I had one for my Ford truck but it does not show some of the parameters for my turbo, specifically Oil temp

I got the scan gauge 2 off of eBay brand new. I would have got the 3 but it won’t fit in that area. Oil temp is not in the codes for our cars as far as I know.

Got some new headlights. Love them. Not great pics but I’ll get some during the day.

Some daytime photos. They are DRL halos, just a FYI. Had to move my ballast and electronic leveler over. Not a big deal.

Thanks for the info on the scan gauge. That is what I found also. Oil Temp was the main thing I wanted.

Sure thing. You'll have to get a gauge and sending unit it specifically for that. Are you tracking the car?

The Cobb accessport can read oil temp from the OBD2.
