For me, 02+NSX > GT3 > GTR

All about personal preference I guess hehe

GT3 is a super nice car don't get me wrong but once you own and drive one, it's nothing really special - the look is just like any other Porsche even if it's one the best handling machines out there! Most of the time I rarely go past 80 just cruising on highways so for me the feel of the NSX is more important.

Just got back from 4th of July BBQ and the seat is finally installed - fits like a glove! I will take the car for a spin later and snap some more pics with some "seat of the pants" impressions.

Update: July 5th, took the car for it's first spin with the new seats last night....this is the perfect driving position if you are 6'2, 175 lbs! I gained 2" of headroom but sacrificed nothing else

I snapped these in my garage but you can see the difference in seat height. The Bride RO rails are direct bolt in and literally keep the seat flat on the floorboards with no compromise. I did not have to cut or modify anything and everything is just bolt on.

Check out the seat height difference in this pic:



Aerial shot with the t-top removed shows perfect position adjusted for me:



I love the carbon kevlar poking out when the door is open or visible when hatch is open through small rear window



here you can see the oem bolt holes using factory bolts



Just have to decide which red seat to do for the passenger side now to complete the interior




enjoy

Well today I was up bright and early to go to Apple store near my house to pick up an iPhone. Walk into the mall and didn't see that many people thinking, this should be easy. Wrap the corner and saw a huge line that wrapped around the Apple store across Nordstrom and all the way past the GAP store! Guess I'm not getting the phone today but decided to make good use of the empty parking lot and did a mini photoshoot......:biggrin:

Still waiting on my damn wheels and a few other parts but it's starting to look better!


enjoy
rick

oh, kind of random, but i notice the window frame, does it come with the window tape like the S2 and you took it off? or does it come matched from the factory? i actually think it would flow better black.
