Placed an order for them in early May, and they finally got built.

Official porsche colors.
1. Graffiti grau on Schwarz
2. Porsche logo embossed on the head rest.
3. Diamond stitch/contrast stitch.

Will take another week to arrive.
Search up Recaro Max on Facebook.

Want it to complement my CF v Graffiti grau leather.

Looks really nice! Please follow up with the final installation pictures.

Did Recaro Max do the embossing, or did you purchase the embossing tool and send it to him to do. I saw your earlier post with the embossing tool. Curious to know where you were able to get one made, and perhaps the cost.

Hope to save you some time/headache....

All the fasteners like the one in this pic with the arrow where the tabs in the screen are not 100% flush and/or the clip itself is not 100% conformed to the plastic insert are going to be trouble. You have to get these conformed to the original part as possible or the bumper cover will not go correctly.

They look like Recaro Sportster.

Just got it back from having it wrapped then coated in Ceramic Pro. They did the brakes and wheels in ceramic too while they had it apart. It's Avery light blue and turned out great.

Installed bilstein struts with RUF springs and
new Michelin pilot sports

changed trans oil with Mobilube ptx and what a beautiful difference this oil makes

i first had shell oil in the trans and wanted to make the trans shift better so I tried delvac then redline and now the mobilube. Wish I had seen powderhounds post on 6speed earlier about mobilube ptx, would have saved me a lot of grief.

cars dirty but here's a pic.

Got my Kline catless finished up, I did black ceramic tips in my oven, had a spare set of tips.
This thing is LOUD at WOT but nice when cruising, very little drone.

No CEL with the J shaped O2 foulers.


Also did a new V-belt and fuel filter while I was in there.

Took a peek at the coils and I think they are ok for now, after only 30k miles on a stock car.

Cobb stage 2 next....

Amazon Amazon

I used these with the smallest constrictor, you will need some snap ring pliers, there is plenty of room with the catless pipes. I also wrapped the pipes with header wrap...smoked a bit at first but maybe worth some heat soak protection. I installed the J tubes with a bit of copper anti seize

I dropped the O2 sensor harnesses out of the car, made it all much easier. There is a video on youtube showing this by the light saver guy.
