Yes it does look like the seat goes all the way back. Wish I could see one in person. I will also report on the plates asap. Does the OEM bar connect to the shock towers? I don't remember.

Anyone know of a fix or a half cage that actually fits without interfering with the seat? I def want one that connects to the shock towers.

Thanks!! What I call ghost striping are those that a shade lighter than the paint or a flat black. Enough to be seen, but doesn't stick out.
GREAT idea, I've never seen it - would love to see a pic

I'd do the same ("delete" orange). Black is a very sharp look.

Another member in our region had gone from orange to white (kinda cool, really!!) and then ghost black like the car pictured above and it was really hot. Decals, mirrors, wheels etc all in satin black not flat black. Satin has this little sparkle to it.

Ah, ok. I thought you may have had them painted.

Yes! Thanks.


I've also thought about doing something similar to the black 4.0. Thoughts?

Still think your RS is awesome! Just looks sinister with the black.

That's def a first. My DAS still got in the way of the GT2 seats. Had enough room, but had to watch how far I went back. That's good to know though for the future RS 3.8 again.

I vote for changing the orange to silver, looks badass
I love silver in a black car as well. Tough choice.
