How do you like the sport buckets?

Also PM'd you with a question if you don't mind. TIA
PM sent. I like them fine. Both cars are great albeit with some limitations/adjustments for Racing Green CS2. As I shopped the car I learned that it can be a very hard sell on ones own as you have to find someone who doesn't mind a green car. Everyone says its beautiful and unusual to see one that color and it wears well with the sand beige combo...but when you try to get them to write that check then it can get interesting.

I think the Sport Bucket seats will give me a reason to stick to my diet and workout schedule! Back is pretty good and only thing I think I will miss is the heated seats which do give you relief after a hard workout or snowy/cold day. Oh well back to poly propylene underwear!

I have the sport bucket seats in my Cayman they are great, after 18 months and some long trips. Sometimes a little challenging for my wife to get out of (5' 2" and we are both 69) but for my bad back they are great. As to the heated seats, I had a shop in Converse re-do the inserts ( which are just held in with velcro) in Alcantera and it actually makes the seats cooler in summer and warmer in winter AND you don't slide in them.

Tim...shhh. That was one of the positives of upgrading to all wheel drive with with the Mrs! All weather traction and driveability!

But seriously being an AD military type; I will likely get orders next summer for god knows where (I am hoping for Germany or Italy) so having options will be nice!

beautiful car!

This was my ultimate setup when i was looking to buy my 997.2 but i couldn't find one available at that time and the only car i would pay more than budget...

Enjoy it! I would keep the BBS wheels!

Way to go!...I have the same Launch Model 09C4S PDK. Illl never have another without Sports Buckets..they are the ultimate in comfort for me. It's my DD and now have clocked 42K miles without a hiccup. Whats your build date, and if possible...can you PM me what $ amount they were asking? Thanks! I might consider moving to Turbo.

The seats make it look as it should. OOO's and AHHHH's wherever I go. Apart from functionality..that carbon fiber bling sends it home!

Hey Mdrob, congrats on the new car. It looks great, I'm liking the seats. Enjoy it and let me know if you decide to do an exhaust and Intake upgrade on it, we have a few different sound options. I will make sure to take care of you and give you a nice member discount when your ready.
Thanks and here is a video of the recommend setup to go with.

Anyone know if 9x19's would work in the front instead of 8.5x19" wheels? Would the fenders need to be modified? Rubbing and issue? Thoughts?
