I can dig it. I like that color on a silver Boxster. You went thru a lot of work on the interior and perhaps its me but the seat covers look a little loose.

Not familiar with the comic so where do the buttons go? Center console?

Good eye. The seat covers are by Autoberry, and I am not impressed by the quality at all. They have a fit guarantee, and I am in the process of getting that refunded.

It’s not terrible, but it’s not acceptable. TBH, not sure what I’m going to do. Might revisit once everything else is done.

As far as the location, it’s implied in the comic that it’s on the front center console with the radio.



However, what I’m learning is exact detail is impossible, because things change from shot to shot. Colors of one part change in the next panel. Looking at this, the button panel is much larger than her hand.



That is to say, I’m taking a few liberties. This will be in the center compartment hole where the cigarette tray goes.

So THIS is what Johnny Danger was on about! It all makes a lot more sense now.

BTW, this thread needs more pictures of that menacing Techart beauty hiding in the back.

It is an absolute beauty! Techart is AMAZING. For this car, though - I’m staying stock since it’s the reference material.

I'll admit that I'm not familiar with this comic, but do you suppose that's where our johnnydanger took the name from, or was it more of just the "generic" naming?

BTW, I still miss his twisted humor. I've often wondered if he was truely fluent in Russian, or even how the idea to post quips in Russian came about. Still, I'm glad that he was the one in possession of the microfilm.
