I like the all leather manual versions so much I installed them in my 928 (CF wrapped the backs) and made an office chair out of one that I sit in for 8-10 hours a day. You'll like them better than the buckets, especially if you're doing longer trips.
Just did a 2.5 hour (185) mile stint in the 928 ones this morning.

The ducktail on the widebody is so much WIN.
I have been thinking about adding it as well, but am apprehensive about all the fitment and color match issues people are dealing with.
How was the experience for you? Was there a way to retain the light strip across the back or no?

Why would we give you crap for that? Those are the second most comfortable seats Porsche makes for our generation of cars, second only to the full power versions, which I have in my 997.

Installed the seats over the weekend, love them. Sport buckets are of course much better for track and hold you in better but not planning on doing track so these sports seats are much more comfortable for daily driving. Sport buckets are for sale if anyone is interested. Heres few pics to compare the two in the car and random pic i took this weekend of the car.

quick updates: Installed TPC DSC for pasm. Worth every penny in my opinion!! I live in an area where roads are really bad and before i could feel every single expansion joint and every little bump in the road. By that i mean it felt like my teeth were going to fall out going over them. Now the ride is still stiff but it has gotten rid of the teeth jarring effect. If youre on the fence about this, i definitely recommend.
Also ordered a GTS front lip as im missing one, bought some corteco engine mounts and function first soft transmission mount insert. Yet to be installed so ill give my thoughts on that once theyre on the car.
And the most exciting part is that i just placed an order for iPE F1 muffler set!! Didnt go for a full system as i already have sharkwerks crossover pipes. If im not satisfied with the sound, i will order the headers as well, but we will do one thing at a time.

Love that f1 sound of the ipe car in their video. I almost went that way myself back in 2012 when I bought my car but at the same the Fabspeeds I have ended up in the marketplace and went for the known commodity (at the time).
Excited to get your feedback on it once installed.

After months of waiting, it finally arrived today! Looks like very nice quality pieces, cannot wait to install it and hear how it sounds.

There should be a plug that goes from the control module to a vacuum solenoid unless that is incorporated into the control module. The vacuum source will gave a barb on it for the hoses, and those need to go to the vacuum valves on the mufflers routed so they don't melt from touching anything hot.
If there's a T in the kit for the hoses, one would come off the vacuum source and tie together the ones from the mufflers to it.
The remotes will send the signal to the control box to open and close the valves.
Where the clamps go should make sense once you see the connections underneath.

youre right and i just found another installation guide by another company here which pretty much outlines the same thing as you said:

Clay bar + optisealed last night and replaced engine mounts (literally took 15mins to do both sides) In the picture the top one is new one and the bottom one is original with 69k miles. You can see how much more the rubber piece is sticking out.
