4.0 Winglets & Canards painted Shark Blue to match. Installed the 4.0 winglets and they look great on the salter aero uprights. The 4.0 canards are waiting. I know a 4.0 that is going to help me build a template for correct placement.

Pick up my car today after an extensive winter maintenance session. ST Carbon rotors and Guard Diff(40/60) plus full fluids and post track season inspection. The 4.0 Canards installed as well. Haven't given the brakes a good test yet but initial thoughts is stiffer brake pedal and worked well on a rainy Seattle Winter Day. The Guard Diff's aggressive lock up was noticeable on acceleration the tail wanted to kick out. Put a smile on my face as I giggled. Excited to get some more experience with in on the track and to feel the lock up on deceleration.

Did you track your car before adding the taller wing stands? If so was there a noticeable difference in the dynamics? I like the low wing but would love some rearview visibility however I don't want anymore rear downforce//understeer.
Been enjoying your build and seeing you rack on track time and miles. Keep up the good work!

P1Design 997 GT2 bucket seat inserts arrived today
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.

Nice list for 2023. Is that cupholder the entire unit or just the covers? My car is cupholder delete but i think i can spare the weight addition for the convenience.
Super bummer about the thickness of the seat cushions. I was actually considering seeing if i could find someone to make mine much thinner opposed to installing lowering seat brackets. When i track my car I run an alcantara Sparco cushion and the increased headroom is perfect. Would like a more permanent solution.
