My wife's 997 is pink pearl, and guess what, the other color these car seats come in is black with pink trim, so that's what was in hers.
Kids actually fit better just sitting on a pillow now so if anyone local is interested in these cat seats, you can have them. They weren't very expensive to start with and fit the back seats of the 997 quite well due to the narrow base. Also had a high safety rating.

Thanks, and yes, with me being 6'1" they fit a good bit better in my wife's than they do in mine since seat position isn't as critical when you're not driving. It's actually the reason I picked up my 928 Spyder. It has quite a bit more room in the rear seat, giving whoever is behind me decent legroom. Part of why that's the case is because of the convertible top that secures above the windshield header, whilch let's me be a bit more upright than in a normal 928, espeicially if it's a sunroof car. Still need to install the rocket red powdercoated intake, but that will pretty much finish it up.

Why i love this car is because it is full of aftermarket, but unless you know Porsche you can't tell that its not stock . its personalized yet not over the top at all and very clean.

Thanks guys. Ended up selling the ADV1's last weekend. Polished Champions are now back on with the RUF Center caps. Planning to reprogram my DSC box this weekend to make some suspension behavior adjustments.

Installed carbon wrapped 997 adaptive seats and finished-up the Intake last week too on the 928 Spyder !

Has a nice suspension setup as well - Bilstein Damptronics, Cargraphic AirLift, Tarett Monoball front mounts, RSS LCAs, dogbones, toe steer kits, camber locks, TPC DSC module.
Ran out of stuff to do, so bought the 928 project, which I've also now finished. Upkeep of the fleet (have a 914 too) should keep me busy enough though, plus I'm out of space

man, still waiting for a sound clip from that cool looking clean exhaust set up... but mypoint here is a Q about your susp setup, do you track the car or...? can you feel a difference from stock? i am sure you can, but what about every day around town stuff...is she still driveable/semi comfortable...? again, looking awesome...i am in envy, slightly, wonderment as well as to how different it can all be, must try a bit more than just H&R springs one of these days, PSS 9 or 10 springs to mind here...

is your setup along the lines of the pss9/10, or more involved? and ultimately, more 'spensive...?

The PSS9 and PSS10 Bilsteins are traditional coilovers with 9 or 10 adjustment positions, respectively.

i am just now considering tuning my suspension elements as things are now 8 years old, though with only 35k kms, so it is still tight, but long, cold winter nights set in and the mod bug starts nibbling at my tiny brain and i think, hmmm, i could spend some money i don't need to on some stuff i don't need, but then i'd have a cool upgrade on my susp, and it would be fun, ahh, fun...so, i guess my Q is, am i going to spend 3 or 4 grand and still have basically the same ride as far as my amatuer(ish) butt tuner can tell? and i actually think i know the answer, just want to hear the sound of my own voice, kinda, and kinda thinking out loud ....

If you go with Bilsteins, install the fronts with a roller bearing thrust washer so that the coil spring doesn't rotate, bind, and make a pop noise as it unbinds. Some do this and others don't, but the thrust bearings is cheap insurance that it won't happen on yours. You can get them off of eBay and I can probably find the bearing # for the correct dimension one for the Bilsteins.
