What mounts did you use for the seats? I've got them in my 996 Turbo and am about to switch them over to the new car.

I liked the DPE's alot but this new setup + coils is an amazing upgrade. Nice writeup and the car is simply beautiful.

Looks great!

I noticed your car before, it's one of the better done silver cars. I just sold my silver Carrera for a Polar silver 997tt which I will be working on "making my own".

Just wondering which tail lights you went with, and if you like them. They look good, as does the rest of the car of course.

How did you get the painted side skirts? Did your body shop just paint over the plastic materials or it was prime and paintable version which they discontinued? TIA

I ordered this - http://www.stableenergies.com/Recaro...-P/2616%2CLFT/ In the drop down box there is a 997 set. Worked great. I also bought new seat belt receptacles from Suncoast.

When I got mine from Suncoast you could get the primered version that was ready for paint.
