Did anybody notice in the picture (drivers side low shot) that they used the seat bracket to attach the 3 point belt and NOT the standard frame point?

If you like the look, go for it. It's a personal choice.

Agreed! Just very interested on opinions as I think it's become a little synonymous with Boy-Racers in econo boxes! Nevertheless, in small quantities, I do believe it suits the GT3/RS (even if it’s just door entry guards..)

"Now where's me' carbon cup holder?!?"

Faux racer=tacky

More leather any day if you need to spend money.

Seats look fantastic. I'll have to get those.

Think they will be cheaper from Gert?

Ahh yes, but you then have to add the increase in cost for the sunroof, which ought to just about cancel out from the seats. At least according to PAG.

why do care if others might consider it tacky? Its your car; order it how you want it! Porsche has already told you that you have to have the sunroof; don't let others tell you how to order the rest of your car. enjoy!

in that case nomis, you should order as many bolt on/stick on parts as possible to pimp your ride as much as you can so we can all have a laugh and feel better about getting only the sunroof as an "option".....

seriously; a bit of carbon is better than that silver finish that scratches if you look at it hard enough.
