What Tom asked …..Tom wrote: Sat Nov 06, 2021 11:19 am Stunning car Mitch! Congratulations and thanks for posting it here.
I 'think' I'll have a batch of license plate mounts by Monday or Tues, so if you want a set just let me know.
What color is the stitching in those seats? Is that the Race-Tex with Shark Blue stitching option? I could swear they were offering "speed blue" at one point but now don't see that on the configurator for that car with those seats.... Either way, consider bolster covers...
Hi Mitch so you don’t have speed blue stitching ?Mitch wrote: Thu Nov 11, 2021 8:50 pm Hi guys. Thanks for the nice comments on the new car. I took delivery in Denver, and I live in the Seattle area. The car is now home, yet it is currently getting a full PPF at the detail shop. The interior is the extended leather shark blue stitching option, with shark blue seatbelts. I also did carbon fiber trim and door sills, that should look good with the carbon fiber on the bucket seats. The pictures I posted are somewhat cryptic, because I wanted to keep as much of the original shipping material on it while it was shipped home. When the car is all cleaned up and wrapped, I’ll get some better pictures posted. Tom, I thought I sent a PM out to you, but I apparently failed. However, I’ll take a white license plate mounting kit for the new car as you mention, and a black set for a 987 when you get to it. Please drop me a note on how I can make payment. Thanks, Mitch
I'll send you a PM now. I didn't do any of the 992 mounts in white. Only black. I offered white ones for the 718 and almost no one asked for them. I could probably do a custom set in white if you really prefer that, but for what it's worth I put black ones on my white car. You can't see them with the plate on, and bracketry tends to be black on cars, so didn't do colors. As for the 987, is the plate area roughly like the 992 with a raised rectangular ridge and circles in the corners? I can't say I remember anyone putting these on a 987, so am not 100% they fit....Mitch wrote: Thu Nov 11, 2021 8:50 pm Hi guys. Thanks for the nice comments on the new car.

I also noticed on the configurator today, that they’ve added the new form fitted seats as an option. Would really like those, because the new vented panels are colored, with Shark Blue as an option. Oh well, guess I can’t complain, I’m just pleased to have received a car!!! Mitch

You got the light weight bucket seats though, no?
@Crazy Eddie can make you new cushion inserts anyway you want them, and for a lot less than $3,890
I think Porsche is being a bit cheeky with that 'bodyform' terminology, since they are simply soft, medium, or hard cushions for the same seat. I'm pretty numb to Porsche option pricing, but that's a lot of money for a couple of seat cushions. It's a little over 7 times what I paid for my first car in high school.
