    More stuff coming in...

    Can't wait to start installing, but unfortunately I have to wait until after paint.

    I might have grabbed the last Karbonius CSL trunk in the US currently.





    Also turns out that HMS Motorsport had two sets of Cobra Nogaro Munich's available in the US. Brian at HMS was so awesome to deal with. Answered all of my questions, gave me options on things I didn't even think to ask, and the whole transaction from the moment I was ready to move forward with payment/ordering to the seats shipping out was about 2 hours. I ordered on a Tuesday, seats were at my door on a Friday (with Thanksgiving in between)!

    I think I am going to have an issue sourcing the Brey Krause mounts and manual adjusters. The one place I called, said that the BK stuff can have a 6-8 week turnaround time. I have to check with Brian, but if anyone has these in good condition and wants to sell, I'd be willing to pay full MSRP for them.

      Those are the exact ones i wanted to order but my emails have gone unanswered since the last 2 years. Oh well......

      Congrats they look amazing. Hopefully you can source the mounts and get them installed ASAP/

        Oh no! What email are you emailing? Are you trying to get them through the local distributor? Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

            Ohh man I'm in Wayne now grew up in Springfield right next door. I have to sit in these when you get them installed so I can finally pull the trigger lol.

                  What's the list on those Munichs? I see a set for sale local that is tempting, but new would be very tempting...

                    From what I understand, price would depend if they need to be imported from the UK.

                      The refinished SMG trim pieces arrived today from TexaZ3 today. They look great! I still have a bunch of carbon work to do on the window switch console, but I really wanted to see how some of these pieces looked assembled. I also have some Nappa leather and Alcantara, so I sewed together two shift boots. I think I am going to go with the leather one though.

                        That trim looks great! love that you're bringing through a little bit of the CSL concept, makes for a little bit of extra uniqueness
