Very nice -- BTW, what color is it? Is that what nautic blue is supposed to look like if it weren't so faded and banged up like my car?

I'm really gettin' pumped. The car is coming together beautifully. Dan does great work.

Will, the splitter is from A.I.R. (American International Racing) they are normally $250 but I got that one at a Rennlist group buy price of $200. It doesn't look like the car you checked out for me anymore, does it?

The car is really looking great! The photos don't do it justice, really. Pete should be really proud, as should Dan for the high quality paint job that he did.

I am certain that car will take first place in the 944 category at the Taj Concourse Event, no matter what degree of waxing and prep other 944 cabs and coupes may do in preparation.

(PS. I am pissed now that my car is now once again the one with the crappiest looking paint in the local group. A paint job may be on the docket for sooner than later now................ )

Sure doesn't!! Looks great Pete! Judging from the great work you did on your last car.....your S2 should look fantastic when you finish.

What are your plans for the rear bumper? Splitter looks great....didn't know how it would look with D90s (same as my Turbo).....it looks awesome!

Post more pics!!

The rear bumper is a euro bumper that originally was on a 924. It needed a little fiberglass work to match the ends up with the 944 quarters.
The wheels and tires I have for it are top secret right now.
I should have the car home next weekend and I'll get lots of pics of the finished project.

Let's see some pics of your 951, Will!
