Thanks man. It is pretty fun driving around parking lots swerving speed bumps and finding an exit. Yeah he is still learning. I am pretty sure he is taking this in right now.

Not that much lower. I adjusted the height of the seat angle not to be fully down.

I got them through S2CarbonWorks. We do live pretty close eh? I will be probably making a trip up to Austin in the next two weeks. Maybe I will swing by your side of town

Thanks. The time it took and making sure the adhesive sticks to the door and fabric. Other than that...it took some hardcore precision not to mess up the cut.

Thank you for the reply Sifu!
Another quick question though... how lower would the seat be when set to full low on the bracket?
I have problems finding a bucket seats that lowers the seat position enough so that I don't hit the roof with my helmet
Thank you!

Hmmm with my current settings. I am about 1.25 inches lower than my passenger side. If I lower the back area more I could probably squeeze out another 1.5 inches more. I hope this helps

LMK if you need anything else.

See you on Friday! But I am not too sure if I will bring out my car. It might be getting some worked done for Project 512

Thanks!

Hector- You will just have to be cautious and have a crap load of patience driving in Houston. I daily my car everywhere in town with no problem. I know all the locations/road conditions when I drive. Occasionally there will be some nasty scraping
