To Cabcar:
Check out the other thread for Sharkster. He is offering a nice package for reasonnable price. As for other mods, Mooty MJSpeed and others are alot more connaisseur on your particular car.

What about the lack of the ROW battery kill switch for the RS?
There can't possibly be a National Highway Safety Regulatory issue preventing US cars from having one, can there?

That just doesn't make sense.

then have dealer turn off airbag warning light on dash and ctr console (your 996 gt3 seats doesn't have the thorax airbag that the standard 997gt3 seat has, so the warning light will come up.)

I have installed the following in my 2007 GT3:
997 Tequipment roll bar
996 GT3 seats leather with the anti sub brace (recaro)
Tequipment (Porsche) Schroth 6 point harnesses
(note, if you use HANS device order the correct harness set)
Brey Kraus bracket for passenger seat with BK quick release FE bracket.
Castrol Hi Temp fluid
Performance alignment with corner balancing
Car looks and runs great!
Waiting on the 997 GT3 Club sport seats... and waiting... and waiting.

I thought that the American cars did not have: rollbar, plexi window, fire ext, and CGT seats. I plan to install the front and rear cage and the CGT seats.
