I do not accept your challenge on the grounds that I haven't seen any and don't want to lose . I think for a 928 a gauge panel anywhere would be hard to pull off, so don't feel bad by my comments. I personally would have not made things so bulbous. Again, it could just be the angle of the pic. Peter North

I did not take offense by your comments, like I said we are all entitled to an opinion. The gauges are not bulbous, each is angled to the driver's eyes, plus angling them was the only way to make three gauges fit in the space of the original ash tray. You may not like them, but I have had almost a dozen requests, over the years, by other owners to build one for them.

Roger has it correctly. I really toyed with the idea of keeping it, but the 991 that replaced it is such a fantastic car I always found myself going to the 991. The few times I did drive it I really enjoyed it but two sports cars and a truck, and being single again, made absolutely no sense. It's a great car and rare as a 5-speed. It's a daily driver and being a garage queen is just not what it deserves.
Thats where I'm at with my car right now. I want something else but there is no way I can justify two sports cars. Well, let me clarify.... my wife seeing two sports cars. Heck your single you have that rap beat!!
Always admired your car Jim...GLWS.

Since we're posting Jim's GTS ****, these are from a 2003 Sharkfest somewhere in Texas. Jim’s GTS is the first I’d ever seen and standing next to it was like petting a unicorn. Anyway, GLWS Jim. You're crazy if you take less than $60K.

I want to thank you for being honest. In the end, we modify our cars for ourselves and I suppose ultimately when a custom mod is done for ourselves we either go all out and make it perfect or accept it when it is functional and perhaps not completely pretty. Like I said before, I am basing this all on the pics posted.

So Mr. North got banned! I was waiting for the happy ending. Oh well!

All of the gauges were added to help with troubleshooting and because I like the look. I built this car for*ME, and I don't care what anyone else thinks. Like it or don't, everyone is entitled to their opinion.*
Peter North, I challenge you to find a better installation! I don't like the A column mounts or the package shelf installations, or the ash tray cover mount. What else is there?

Unfortunately Jim's GTS was my first 928 to drive and it was downhill from there at every car I test drove after that. It truly is a beast and I will always be appreciative of getting to drive it. He's poured a lot of money, time and heart into that car. Good luck with the sale Jim, we will miss her.
