do you mind? how much did you pay for em and were they oem gt3 leather?? or did they come with the car. if so, you got some very tasteful mods. ( add: never mind.. saw the "recaro" duh )
I paid full price for the leather Recaro PPS from Cantrell Motorsports in Kirkland, WA but my friend and fellow RLer, 'Barry Johnson' can hook you up with a great discount. PM me for his contact information.

they're excellent. i can't justify "new", as they've gotta be 4k ish. but those along with 996 painted backed sport seats are now on my "watch" list. thanks.

Just for the record, the only vehicle that is to be referred to as a P!g is the Cayenne; the forum is called the P!g Pen

The 996 Turbo is a proper Porsche, featuring a Mezger engine, and is NEVER to be associated in any way with the Cayenne

Consider it a warning ...

A lot of forum members on the Porsche Forum Australia website refer to their 911's as "Porka" and no one has a made a big deal about it.

No worries here. 10 years worth of Japanese and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training under my belt. I encourage freedom of speech but put a finger on me, I'll take off your arm from the shoulder.

Despite a little rain, it was a fantastic day….as always with T2. My learning curve continues; I finally broke 2 minutes

The 2004-05 GT2 is a rare jewel. From the numbers I have seen they only sold 29 GT2s in N.A. for those years.
