Almost as comical as spending $6000 to gain 10hp.

I think all their stuff comes with imperial hardware. Their battery mounts sure do, I think it’s ridiculous and don’t understand why they cheap out.

No ****. That's unacceptable in my eyes. Mixing hardware on these cars is just lazy engineering. Metric hardware is not significantly more expensive when purchased in bulk, which I'm sure they do.

Seems like no big deal to substitute your favorite hardware in their kit.

It looks like they don't have them any longer. I was interested in a set for my 71.

I did some simple panels for my 85 Targa, since I like the look and the original panels were half missing and what was there was trash. I don't need pockets in the doors just to collect junk, LOL.



Cheers

I use my door pockets ALL THE TIME. A can of soda or energy drink jams perfectly in the open pocket and works as a great cupholder. Also throw my wallet in there. Inside the armrest storage cubbies, I have sunscreen (required for Targa owners) and some napkins for cleaning up spills or bird****.

But darn I guess I'm like 1/2lb heavier.....

Picking up a set of core seats tomorrow that I plan on either doing with houndstooth or a gray plaid. I am leaning towards a simple door card with basketweave, maybe Carbone. Will keep all of the original gray cards and seats to go back. Will probably build a rear seat delete for this version...

Englebert, is that silver gray?
