Negative - just double checked. i'm guessing someone replaced the original with the black trim version at some point. it looks identical to the one linked a few posts above. yours stood out to me as I've only seen a few cars with the black trimmed wheel and couldn't tell if they came like that from the factory or were replaced later on. In my case, it sounds like the latter.

this car has the same wheel but it looks like it has options CLA and 841 on the build sheet like you said. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...he-911-gt3-13/

Wow. Nice. I bought a replacement bolster just in case, but I wonder if these guys making bolster protectors might make them if they are end of like at Porsche?

Regardless I'm skinny and use the left-arm-polevault method to get in my car.

Yea I had my bolster in storage and then decided I wasn’t preserving the car for the next guy, but the old bolster really does fit well as a cover so I don’t see it wearing quickly esp after I fixed the metal edge cutting into the bolster fabric

I wonder if the upper left side of the seat would be significantly more difficult, the part where the seat belt rides…

My gut says yes as that piece is included in the entire back, and very expensive.

I might attempt someday… but I’ve seen some for sale before that were done and the fit looked shiet especially behind the back at the shoulders, which makes me think it’s not easy. I’m going to try OGs bolster resto process from the contest RS befor I try and see if I’m happy
