Roll Call for AZ

chicagofan00 · 04-20-2022, 09:50 AM

Doesn't look like I'll make the May 7th meet up.

Let me know if you guys want to get together over the next few months though.

I could do May 28th or a June 4th.

I was also looking to possibly do the next BMW CCA cars and coffee in May. Not sure I've seen them post the date or location just yet though. From the photos it seems like they rarely have any G8x's show up so it could be fun if we had a group of us roll up.

If any of you have the Carbon Race Seats then you are going to want to check out IND. they have the bolster covers now. $310 shipped.

I got the last set of black w/red stitching, but they have other colors as well. Glad that someone finally made these as I was getting concerned about the wear on the leather.

I'll post some pics once I get them.

Can you post some picks of how your seats currently look?

So far I'm not seeing any wear on my buckets after 2,800 miles.

Sounds good to me! I'm in. I'll see you guys all there at 7 on the 7th.

Meet next to the McDonald's? Might need to grab a bite to eat before the short drive.

I'll be there on the 7th and will meet at the Pavilions.

I'm at an out of town conference, but I'll try and snap some pictures this weekend.

The wear isn't too drastic, but I definitely see a difference from the interior side.

I was driving by Greyhawk and saw a dark green Porsche 918 Spyder. I was following him for a few miles. Had Montana plates. So cool to see one in the wild.

I took a few pictures but they came out blurry but I can post if anyone is interested

Montana Plates = tax evasion

What's the deal with that? You don't have to registration or something?

I'm not 100% sure of the specifics, but I believe that you can establish a LLC or some type of trust in MT and then register cars there. I believe the reg. fee is $25. So, that is a huge savings over AZ plates.

However, I know there was a big crackdown in Georgia a few years back and lots of people were busted for tax evasion.

Well, I guess the camera on the new iPhone is better than it should be. This looks bad for only 9 months.

Or, I need to drag my fat ass to the gym and loose these damn COVID lbs.

Oh wow. My Silverstone seats don't look anything like that so far.

I have the black leather and my seats don't look like that. Granted, the car rarely sees daylight and doesn't get driven that often.

This is wild that I'm just now learning this. I see so many high end cars in my area with Montana plates.

Ex_Stig · 05-02-2022, 11:57 AM

Bolster covers arrived on Friday. That look great and the stitching matches perfectly.

Highly recommend for anyone that is nervous about wear on the seats. Got them from IND.
