Prepared to replace the supple/heated/lumbar/8-way/crested seats with sport seats. BONUS: found a quarter!

Im in the process of wet-sanding down and reapplying resin to some of my OEM carbon pieces that have faded and cracked. It's... interesting process. It's turning out well so far, 90-95% improvement. almost all the cracks are gone and the yellow mostly removed as well. Gonna do one more layer to try and even out the finish and then see if I can work up the ***** to re-do my whole center console after I can get these pieces back in the car and compare the finish between the 2...

After 3 weeks of waiting for me to drive (because I get busy and DD a Cayman S), it starts right up and has Zero issues. I love this car.

looks great! most marine epoxy resin turns yellow over time. Ive had great results with Max CLR it's a thinner epoxy designed to flow out. once it's cured like glass, you can cut and polish also if you have any nibbs or contamination that need top be removed.
