Wow, it's pretty wild how plain Jane those stock Rs end plates look. The 4.0 plates are light years nicer. Those dive planes are going to look nice on the car. I loved mine when I had the .1.

Noticeably more comfortable. But Noticeably higher in the seat. This makes exiting the seat easier. See the side by side of the bottom cushions OEM vs P1Design. OEM may feel better on track. Will be interesting to see how they break in.

Looks awesome, very subtle blue!

i noticed your carbon piece above the glove box is starting to age torque away from the dash slightly like mine… I just looked it up a few days ago and it’s $800…

Thanks. We are both restoring our white 997.2 3RSs one piece at a time.
Ya my carbon piece above the glove box is in rough shape. Been that way since I bought it. I'm gonna install the cupholder mechanism. Wish I had cup holders. I'm gonna do a DBCarbon CF cover over the cupholder. For that pricing on the OEM piece I'd go MAcarbon or DBcarbon(depending on doing no cupholder/cupholder). Given we know the poor quality of OEM Carbon trim.

Yea I couldn’t find the single piece DB Carbon w/the RS badge but I never considered just installing the 3 piece carbon w/cup holders as an alternative. Spent the last few days ordering like 30 swatches from Prismatic powders trying to find the perfect yellow match for the calipers.

lol wish you lived near me I want a partner that’s not afraid to get his hands dirty to throw the dice on this gt3

Agreed. It would be nice. Our usage and work on the cars are similar. I do know that MACarbon can do the carbon with logos or text.
