Rear strut brace. Couldn't get the cable holders back into its original place, so I had to clamp it with the strut brace

Seatback cover (silver) and pedals. Bought the sport seatback cover from 986online.com and pedals from ultimatepedals.com.

The rear strut brace is Weltmeister. I think the rear strut from Schnell is identical as they both most likely come from the same manufacturer.

The front and rear brace improves cornering ability of the boxs a lot. The front brace gives the most noticeable effect, but it may be because the front brace was added before the rear.

I don't really recommend this one as it is a pain to install. There is a similar brace but with much better design in terms of easy installation.

The middle section feels like suede (not sure the exact material). The rest of the seat is leather excluding the backside. The boxs has seat heater so maybe this is why.

Side skirts should be a nice addition I've to think it over because I don't want to have to worry about scrapping it anytime I go over the bumps or curbs.
