Default New for me: 997.2 GT3 MY09

After owning an meteor grey .1 GT3 MY07 and sold it with much regrets a while ago, couldn't resist this black .2 and picked it up last week, has 47k miles done. Put in some perlon carbon sport seats in the already nice alcantara cabin, make some more shots of the car in the nearby weeks. Man it feels good to be back in a 997 GT3....

Congrats, nice looking Gt. You say you got perlons and show us the back of the seats. We want to see the fronts.

First little job attended- previos owner had installed matching silver belt-feeds in the seats- not my thing and replaced them with the original black part:

Nothing short of my favorite Porsche OEM seats, unless CGT seats were also available with perlon that I'm unaware of!

My .2 GT3 had perlon CGT seats.
I replaced it for a .2 GT3 RS with GT2 leather/alcantara seats and to this day I regret my CGT seats. The best I experienced for my hips and most importantly very low mounted in the car. When I tried the RS I thought I was driving a bus

Yup, they were on ROW 997.1 GT3/RS. Source - I just picked up a 997.1 GT3 CS with these seats.

Not so sure if I stay with the red belts though, I think I prefer the original ones.

This week new pads allround and the install of a cargraphic rear damper X pipe- so loud exhaust-music to come
