I guess anyone who has a track or ex track gt3 should occasionally clean this spot out.
yea I went ahead and fully removed my liners after I saw that the first time and steam cleaned the wells… love that im not the only one that doesn’t trust the Quickjack 100% and puts a safety Jack stand under lol

Ditto - it's eerie to crawl all the under the car that's being supported and flanked L/R by QJs, with no quick way out. Jack stands are a must!

Yeah. It’s nice to have some redundancy just in case.
I had borrowed a friends fancy Italian steam cleaner. It was immensely satisfying to steam the wheel wells and uprights.

Got my new seat inserts and installed them. Really adds some color to the Aqua/Red RS interior I think, ignore the washed out color on the arm rest, e-brake etc. the sun is washing out the color in the picture.

Ha! I was going to ask JG996 if he tried to locate the center alcantara with red stitching, but then I thought if it was possible, he would have it. I have orange stitching throughout my car except for the radio side panels. I guess the original buyer forgot to check that box. I then threw in my buckets with the regular stitching so I have two areas where the stitching isn't orange. Only bothers me when I'm not driving the car. I'll eventually get the radio sides but the seats will never happen.

good eye. i bought it from maddmurdoch on here months ago…. my seats have red stitching…. but now my console cover has red alcantara.
even with the slight mismatch, its 10x better than the porsche carbon (ill post a picture of the original )

seeing it on your car makes me regret selling it. Looks amazing!

Lol, no, I want one too. My center consul is currently painted orange, but I would love to have an Alcântara with orange stitching.

Nothing major on my end, just the yearly oil change (Mobil1 0W-40) and the addition of a GT3 decal on both doors. It matches the red one on the decklid.
