I appreciate the tartan inserts, but 4 colors is one too many - the 3 color rule applies so the green needs to go. If you swapped green with red, it would tie everything together. Just my opinion.

Why did you go with blue-green tartan when the interior already has red accents? Why not go for the aberdeen color you showed on the tartan website? At least the red on the Aberdeen would match the red stitching and seatbelts.

With all these things, it looks like those houses that have too many Christmas decorations outside, but no theme.

I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on how comfortable the seats are? I’ve owned a 993, 996 and 997 and found them all to be very comfortable. I’ve also driven a number of 992’s and even the 18 way seats feel like they’re made of concrete and are too narrow. I’ve also sat in a car with your seats and I can’t imagine they’re comfortable for a long journey. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks as always, for the great content.
@MotoManTV6 ай бұрын
Good question! Have to admit, I find the Carbon Buckets more comfortable. Why? More support and the firmness of the cushions. The only thing I don't like - especailly on longer trips - I would like the ability to adjust the angle of the seatback. Granted, not the point of that seat but would have loved an middle choice.

Congrats on YOUR Touring. Hope you're still enjoying it. Tough decision to forgo the 992 18-way seats because they're so excellent (vastly improved vs 991) for the Touring.

Mine is blue too, but matches the interior and exterior, by coincidence (thanks grandad). It cost US$1.8K, beautifully made, and I have to originals to put back in if i ever sell it. They had the channel and the blank for the airbag pressure trigger. I then took it back to Porsche to zeroise the seat cushion removal code. It was easy start to finish and looks magnificent.

I was thinking the same thing, clothing fabrics do not have to stand the test of time and materials chosen for cars are done with miles of research and testing. These clothing tartans could stretch out and look baggy, get piley, they are generally not treated for UV protection so maybe a faded mess in a year or two, not to mention the heat inside the car parked on a hot day and finally durability, I think abrasion resistance will be terrible.

I will send him a link to this video because I think he's not aware of that special part that goes to the front of the bottom insert (like I wasn't aware either). Fingers crossed we'll get it sorted out! Love your inserts and the idea of the frunk mat is awesome as well.

I know the bright finish window surrounds are very GT3 Touring and look super 'up market' but for me they don't work with the neodyme wheels. Yes there as several recall issues in the UK too, it is what it is. I'm assuming you got a 3 year manufacturers warranty from Porsche when you bought the car? Love the channel. Keep up the good work.
