I had it sent to the mad scientist EdGuards to have the stitching changed to chalk to match my interior, with a little extra touch with the guards red embroidered "718" to match the guards red accents... I should have it installed in a week or 2.

Sneak Peak....

Picked up my car from Porsche of Omaha, mods done and can't wait to get to the track in May. There is a three day PCA event in the middle of the month ( check out gprpca.org ) with both PCA races and DEs at Motorsports Park Hastings ( racemph.com ) . Great track which was repaved about a year and a half ago, and it is as smooth as a baby's buttuci ! Safe track with lots of runoff and if you are looking for a DE to go to , especially if you are a new driver , this could be a great choice. Keep in mind PCA wants a Tech done around a month ahead now, so pull up a Tech Sheet and get it done - most Porsche Shops do for free and others are reasonable.

The pictures are not the best as it is super sunny out and 74 today --------- false complaining, ha. Ready for the asphalt with new Bridgerock RE711RSs on anthracite Apex wheels.

That looks tremendous!

I have a similar plan. Have EdGuards stitch a boot with Racing Yellow as soon as I can find enough Graphite Blue leather for the boot. Your extra touch Red embroidery idea is fantastic.....maybe GTS or GTS 4.0 in place of 718.....must cogitate on this one.

Hey thanks! Yea, I always like adding little touches/signatures... Why not right?

GTS would look great... Racing yellow would look so good on graphite blue leather!

I have been doing my own tech sheets for every PCA event and thought I feel confident around a wrench, it really is straight forward stuff. You can do it yourself as well.

I always fill out my own tech sheets (if they're even required) but haven't done a PCA event in a number of years, so good to know they accept self-techs, at least some of them. (I guess each region is different?)

The Arizona region is super loose and easy, cowboys? The Vegas region was strict, made it sound like only a qualified shop could do it but after I emailed and asked, explained my background, they said I could tech myself. Ultimately it is a liability for them, they just need to be able to say that you provided proof your car is safe.

Thanks! This is the only way it will match our Racing Yellow deviated stitching, mode dial (thanks Tom), and belts. The tough part is finding Graphite Blue leather….still on the hunt 🧐.

Paging @Crazy Eddie -- I'd be surprised if he can't get Graphite Blue leather...
