I would LOVE to do this...but I have a targa with heated seats. So I don't see how this would be easy to remove. After the 400 mile trip last weekend, this delete would be great though!

I guess for me, the basics would be:

Exhaust, Coilovers, adj sways, wheels/tires.

Deletes the center front console giving your right leg a lot more room.

Don't you have some blank switch spots in the rear center console just behind the ashtray? Just extend the wires and move the heat switches there.

it removes the extra bins underneath the dash forward of the shifter. see suncoastporsche for a picture.

to remove to frame, you have to remove the entire center console (about 12 Torex screws). while you are at it, you can install a short shift kit.

you can also relocate any switches to the horse collar. you should also replace the window switches (they are about $10 ea)

Best two mods i did on my car
