The Excellence article is a good write-up. But, as someone mentioned,
the early cars do not have the pre-drilled holes in either the fenders
or under the car. On my '84 I used rivnuts underneath the car.

Erich, I don't think those square holes exist on your 924. I know that the 944 and the 951 shared the same body in pre-production (from 85.5 onwards), that is why the holes are there and the studs for the side skirts. I don't think there was any such need for this on the 924S.

We'll have to see, i can always hope! I was surprised when i read the excellence article they actually had the spoiler painted before they fitted it! As soon as i get mine painted i'll document the whole process....Cant wait!

Thanks for the response Carl. I WILL look for the FR Wilkes site you reference. A little surprised you say to do this as you used the Autothority chip nd some say the chip does nothing for NA exept raise rev liit (I don;t need) and improve low sped driveability - I DO need.
As an aside, I wax at least one panel EVERY time I wash it - weekly. I use Mequire's pure Carnuba or occasionally Mother's. I do this because my dear old Dad taught me that "the sun is going to eat something, if you don't give it the wax it will eat your paint". So I tend to wax the roof, hood and tail panels more than the sides. Thanks again, Carl, love your car.
