If you look closely, you'll plainly see the barrel of 50 caliber sticking out. Probably just forget to reset the system, and have the faux tow hook cover swing back in place. Probably another Porsche exclusive option.

Don't make me say who's now advertising it with a bumped up price for a flip

I should have been suspicious when Dick asked me for 1 of my spare Turbo S tow hook covers

At the price likely being asked, you'd think someone would remove the window tint.

That's interesting because I raised the question about 6 months ago regarding stock 993's. I know everyone here has modified their cars to some extent but I think the time has come when a completely stock car at SUV height is commanding a premium. I know it has already hit the 993TT world.

I was going to offer my tow hook cap to the buyer for $65,000... I guess the problem got solved.

One of the better threads of the relatively recent past: https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...l-again-6.html

Although I fully understand that hot climates pretty much require window tint for several reasons, I personally have always thought it detracted from the looks of most sports cars. As to SUV height? Well one could potentially argue that Porsche itself was forced to modify its design to make the insurance companies happy.

Even down here in the sauna of the gods many do not tint their cars. I have one car with tint on it and it's not my DD. It has a lot to do with modern vehicles bring equipped with glass that repels lots of heat. 993's not so much...
