Hope all is well in FL, Happy New Year. Our 925 seat base kit will indeed allow the forward and backward movement so the driver can find their personal sweet spot.

Update...
A quick update on the Gumbo, its been simmering...
A few other simple, subtle modifications were made before shipping the 4.0 back to Troy.
We may still change up a few things in the coming months.
As we do on many of our RS builds - we removed the factory wing uprights and powder coated them in black.
I don't mind the stock silver uprights at all - I just prefer them in black, and on this car the black color works well:
And of course we swapped those amber sides for clear:
We also installed the Porsche Motorsport front lip/splitter to give it a more aggressive look while keeping a factory vibe visually speaking:
For the exhaust, we wanted an aggressive look out back and an incredible sound to enhance the already amazing experience of driving this RS 4.0.
Introducing the NEW RSS XPipe Center Muffler with Angle Cut Tips (Part#1204).
The original RSS XPipe Center Muffler has straight cut tips that come out just about flush with the rear valance.
We wanted to give GT3 owners some options and this version has the aggressive angle cuts that come out about an inch past the rear valance.
We will continue to make both versions available to you.
The sound / tone is still incredible and I'll post some audio clips later...
Stock 3rd muffler system coming off:
New RSS XPipe Center Muffler w/ Angle Cut Tips going on:
I will post up some sound bytes later...
In the meantime, a few finished pics:
Many more pics to come and a few vids too...
