If some of you are not getting the PMs that I am sending I wonder if you need to be a Member rather than just a User to get Private Mail? If so, send me your request by email and I'll respond that way rather than taking up the details of particular needs in this thread.

Walt, if you didn't get either of the PMs, look at post number 6 above for the answer.

Addition/correction, the S&H to Canada is $45. Your total will be $90, $15, $5 for a sticker (whether installed or separate) and $45 S&H, or $150 or $155, US, you decide.

Hey Jerry. Great looking product and I will be a future customer once I get to the aesthetic parts of my refresh (this winter I hope).

FWIW I have a late production US '84 #2984 that has the yellow shell with red letters sticker on the cowl.

Waltstar, I am sure that the 84 did not have the WS washer bottle in the cowl area, but I am interested in your picture so I can tell if your Shell Sticker is on the Air Box or on the Cowl Cover. As I said above, it appears that sometime in the 84 MY they changed the Sticker position. I would kind of like to know about when or about which last four of the VIN the change was made.

For now I am out of the WS washer Cowl Cover (the one for the 87 to 91). I have to have some more formed this coming week, if they can get to it.

Default Cowl Cover

Jerry,

We owe you a big debt of "thanks" for the 928 products you are reproducing, including the excellent cowl cover. It's better than the original right out of the box.

Just installed mine today (even though I've had it around for at least 8-10 months) and it fit perfectly the very first time I snapped it in place. I installed the rubber seal and it's good to go, looking exactly like it should have when the car was brand new!

I really appreciated that you took the time to place the "decal stickers" on the cowl before shipping so that I didn't have to try to center them and stick them on myself after the cowl arrived. That was a nice touch! It certainly made things convenient.

The packaging for shipment was equally impressive, especially the part where you included the wooden side strips to ensure the package wouldn't collapse while it was in transit.

A nice piece of work.

Thanks!

Thanks David for this great post about my Cowl Cover. It is always great to be appreciated for what little I might be able to do for the good of the 928 and its people. As to the wood in the package, I started with the fear that knowing how the post office tends to operate and other shippers, I could count on someone folding the package double if I simply wrapped the package with corrugated packing material or even in a longish slender carton of some kind. Thats why I put the wood frame inside each package. I make those out of quarter inch laths cut off of 2 by 4s cut to length then nail them together with my brad nail gun. So far I have not had any complaint about any damage to these Covers in shipping.

I just rough trimmed a batch of new Cowl Covers out of the raw vacu-formings, so now am back in supply with the S4 and GT version of these for the LHD cars, which I had just run out of when this thread popped up. The previous last two went pretty quickly.
