Wasn't ripping on you guys at all! I've seen ~ 10 991 GT3s in person and they all had the 18 way adjustable seats. They must be damn good if everyone is ordering them. I'm just a big fan of CF buckets, not sure my back agrees lol

This is indeed goodbye to the M5. I've got to say that I have really gotten attached to the car, and it is quite an emotional goodbye for me.

Oh I know you werent ripping in the least. I think the reason you have seen all 18 way is because the earlier deliveries of the 2015's and the 2014's didnt have the option. Most of the LWB's started showing up at the very end of the year and now are flowing in.

And further, we are not of the "buffet style" of torso that conforms to the lightweight buckets- thus we need side bolsters !!!!!!!!!

I joke, but I really like the way the seats adjust on the 18 way and I dont care about the weight (of the seat) all too much.

I like to be unique. It's cool, I don't expect everyone to like it. It's also not done yet. I will be getting some Mexico blue vinyl to accent it more. It will help it all flow together. Plus I might get white rims. Right now you're kinda losing the blue in the silver. I think when she's all done it will be a substantial improvement.

I love the car. Still gives me goosebumps when I rev her out. Sadly it's winter here in NY and I've hardly driving her and I haven't had the opportunity to throw it into some turns. She feel more than capable but I'm going to play it safe and wait till there is no gravel, salt, and warmer road temps to see what she can do.

I think it looks great and I like the blue accents... different in a good way. But, look you could wrap that thing in lime spandex and I probably would still like it! It's just a beautiful car.

No white wheels. 2 Mexico Blue racing stripes.

See red ones on 991 in this video. [u2b]

Either that or leave as it is. Looks great Marc,
