They are bloody light - especially compared to the Electric beasts that are now out of my car - they weigh a tonne - just need to slim down the driver now for a few more pounds shed!

Thanks Bootsy,
It's quite difficult to believe that they can be so cheap compared to what we pay in this country. When you order is there the option of having them ready to accept electric window switches or manual winders?
Thanks again

Its gona look smart when its all done. Ive got a pair of AC Cobra seats that Im trying to alter to match the original 911R seats, and Ive just fitted these cargo nets which I think look pretty retro and fill up the door panels a bit more.Image

They are all pre cut - you just cut the vinyl for whichever accessories you have.

Bootsy,

I looked on the AppBiz site and the total for those items looks to be $384.00 before tax or carriage. Was that a special offer or a misprint?

Thanks.

I bid on the panels on Ebay and got them for less. They are always on there. I then negotiated a deal to send the carpets aswell. As for tax - I may still pay it - depends how the goods are labelled and who they come by :wink:

Thanks - I rarely look on the .com eBay site. Obviously I will have to change my viewing habits!

Cheers,

OK, thanks for contact info for the seats. I had both contacts and wondered if there was anywhere else.

Update -

Panels and carpets arrived from Appbiz - top quality stuff - highly recommended. I did get stung another £50 or so customs and Arseful Force handling.

Car now has new seats in place and has gone to the paintshop for some bits.

Front going down a notch or two.

New tyres purchased and will then be fitted.


Then it's back to me for interior finishing. Then some more exterior fettling!
