Thanks Cody for the response!

Wow, 65 lbs each??!!!

I checked with Seibon and their Carbon Kevlar universal seats with mouting brackets weigh only 15 lbs. So that would be a savings of 100 lbs on both seats if replaced with the Seibon ones.

Unfortunately the Seibon ones don't come with leather.

How much did you pay for your Sparco's? (You can pm me the price if you would rather). I am assuming the base is Carbon Kevlar? Or is it something else?

Wow, your GS is very clean. Very well done. One question for you... where in the hell did you find the red/clear taillights that don't have the LED's inside? I've been looking high and low for a set of red/clear NON-LED tails and can't find them anywhere. Is there any way you can help point me in the right direction to locate a set exactly like yours? Love the car, keep up the good work!

I love this shot with the background

I'm surprised I haven't post in here.
I'm in the minority regarding not molding the TTE lip (not sure if you'll be doing this).

I was never a fan of 2nd Gen GS, but I have to admit you have mod it very nicely.

You put a lot of thought into your choice of Mods and they all compliment the car perfectly; my taste exactly! Don't see a problem with your gap; it's perfect. Looking forward to seeing what’s next.
