Painted Seats

PO thought it was a good idea to paint the Boxster red seats black! Looked terrible. Brought them back to Boxster red using leathermagic. Looks about 1000% better!

Wow, great work! It looks new.

I figured out how to get a stripped (head) caliper bolt out using a triple square wrench, then replaced rotors and pads.

After it was back together, took it out to bed the pads. Had to stop for the sunset:

Wow looks great! Wasn't that nice of the previous owner to protect that red leather for you. Looks new.
