    Yeah, from memory, Kaiv got it from the first or second owner, swapped some of the parts back to stock - Vorsteiner bootlid, Meistershaft muffler, swapped it to manual, added JRZs and VOLKS, and then sold it to the current owner who added the OE CSL bootlid, Dixis muffler, shift knob, e-brake, cluster overlays, and steering wheel. I'd probably go back to factory on the last four items. New owner got an amazing car with proper parts on it and saved a lot of time, effort and cost.

    Did that car actually sell? That are was listed locally for $70k.

    It sold for almost half of the asking cost?

    Well clearly the lower 12" have been painted and don't match particularly well... and I'm not sure if that's overspray on the exhaust tips or what, shake and bake Maaco paint style... but it doesn't appeal enough to me to spend a ton of time looking it over. I do like "Individual" and "Estoril" and can see why people like "Manual"... but other than that it's still a $40k car to me

    The black outer sections of the seats were interesting to me because looking at how the leather shrinks on all of these so they separate at the same stitch points, I was just thinking to myself if I need to have mine stitched another time I'm probably doing the outer sections in black high quality boat vinyl and be done with it. I've had patio furniture done with it and notice it gives a little and takes pressure off the stitching, and in many cases it's indistinguishable from leather. I don't know if I see the value in putting the same matching leather back in so it can shrink again and cause the same problem no matter how much time and Leatherique I waste on it.
