BTW - whoever said that CCW quit making porsche fitments is wrong, I emailed John and had a set of C14's shipped in 1 week. Those guys rock.
john at ccw is great and fast.
keep bugging him to do center locks. that's the fitment they dont do.

+1. Turbos do nothing for me. My dream garage is the series of GT3s (6.2, 7.1RS, 7.2RS, 4.0RS)...

The cars look great! Enjoy the track season.

Mvez: the RS looks awesome! Something about an orange RS that is sooo yummy!
Also, love the Euro GT3 seats, I'm close to picking up a used set. While I'm sure they are very supportive, how comfortable are they for street driving?

How is clear bra a PITA??? I don't understand. Super easy to clean, protects the paint. What's hard about that? In high impact areas, yes, it gets beat up - but that just means it is doing its job.

i have had all brands of bra, wacoal, vic secret, you name it. they are all delicate and hard to clean when you get a lot of tire rubber on it. and some will leave marks on, after taking rubber off. i put up wiht it b/c it protects paint.

I agree with everything (both .1 RS in Orange and Euro buckets) you said other than looking for a set of the seats

They are great on the street. I'm 5'11", 190lbs, and they fit fine, and support me comfortably. For long drives, you could maybe use a small lumbar pillow, but honestly, I can't fault them. For the track they are simply the best. Gotta thank Armando for the seats!

Speaking of these seats...has anyone successfully added extra padding, and if so what did you use and how did you do it?
