Very freakng nice! Love the aerokit. Those are the std no cost sports seats, not adaptives, but the cost of the painted setbacks is as much as the adaptives, curious option vs the overall cost of the car and the additional adaptive drop in the bucket.
Re the clear bra, had it on my blue 07 and hated the way it looked. On my current tt and my tts, I only put clear bra on the front bumper.

Sorry, offering my input. I have one just like it,

Proclipusa

I like it because I can take it off for track easily and requires no drilling. Just clips around front and into side.

ProClip, just pick your car then pick the mount for your phone. Nice kit and takes minutes to install.

Yes they are the standard sport seats. I'm not up on the various Porsche seat options but it was explained to me that the reason for these seats is that the adaptive seats have different bolstering (less). Educate me a little of the difference between the seats. When I sit in my buddies 997 TT with adaptives there is a bit less grip around the shoulders; maybe his are the comfort seats, not sure.

Adaptives and those sports have exactly the same dimensions, but the bolsters are infinitely adjustable on the adaptives, your friend probably had his adjusted. The standard comfort seats lack the shoulder bolsters all together. The painted seatbacks is another expensive exclusive option. I wish I had the ventilated seats though, one sweet option. I love that aerokit!

That explains it! He has ventilated seats so no shoulder bolsters. I really wanted the ventilation too but I just didn't like the way those seats felt in a corner. The seats in mine fit me like a glove and I'm the only driver so I figured that wasn't a deal breaker since I love the way the car was optioned otherwise.

Thanks for the comments guys! After a bit of research I guess I'm going to get her a clear bra in the next week or two. Can't wait to hit the track!

love the car! Actually I have almost the exact same car I've had about a year now, other than the aerokit. Definitely get the clear bra, I have it on entire front of the car and rear bumper...unless you are REALLY looking close at the very edge of the panel, you can't even tell its there. Enjoy it, I have!

Beautiful car. The Aerokit & painted seatbacks are great. Also love the lift in your garage. Sure wish I had the ceiling height to use one. Highly recommend the clear bra. I think all the manufacturers have progressed to the point where the products are all very good so the most important part is the installer. Do your homework. Drive it in good health.

Beautiful TTS. I have to pile on about some sort of clear bra solution to protect all that paint. Hennessy arranged full-front coverage for my previous Porsche, purchased from them in '06. Can't remember the shop's name but they're no doubt still using him. Cheers, Jeff
