What are you doing with your wheels, Culture? They sure are pretty. . .

Soon to come 3 spoke airbag wheel either by RUF or the 996 TT 3 spoke airbag wheel with silver crest.

Culture, I get where you are coming from but I think people should know I didn't do this to get my car to look like a 968. I did this as a project to where the 944 series of cars should have evolved in my opinion. I think the 968 front end is very wimpy looking. I think if the 944 series would have survived it would have looked something like what I've created. I have been in my friends car and he has drivin my car behind me and let me tell you. When a 951/S2 is coming up behind you in the rear view mirror you notice. "What the Fluck is that" It is so intimidating and wide looking.
The seats are definitely made by Konig, I beleive the designation is the Konig SK5000's. I had them in my red 951, and they were soooo comfortable and the shape was perfect for the interior. However, mine were not leather, and as a result faded way too quickly, so this time I went with some custom sport seats. If I could afford the Konig's in leather I would have purchased them for sure.

As far as making your 944 into what you think they should have evolved into...that is what a lot of us are doing. Nice job! I suggest a 930 steering wheel to match that amazing interior!

badass you're 100% right, they are ultra comfortable seats but they hold you in place like nobodys business. Thats why I love them. I'm looking for a 930 S wheel but with a silver crest. Do you know if the crest in the wheel pops off so that I can put in a silver one?

My 930S wheel came with the crest unattached. In fact the crest was $35 extra and the silver crest was available.

Here is a link to it. The price has gone up since I bought mine.

Yeah pete but I'm looking for the 930 s wheel with the recessed crest. I don't want the stick on one.

lumberg...i really like what you have done. i agree with you 100% about the 968 rear being the best part of the visual evolution. i've imagined my car with a 968 rear...then i saw yours. the internet is incredible! i think you have done a great job...we are similar, yet different, and niether is done. hahahaaa. i will admit that first time i saw the anteras, i thought they would look better than my 17's...then i happen to see your car. you proved i was right. funny how our choices have overlapped and we have never met. like they say...there is no such thing as an original idea. at least they are good ones! ciao.

i will be using them until i finish all the other things i want to do to the car. once i get it all done, i'll get it painted, then the wheel swap. so it's going to be a while before i put them up for sale. truth is they are not that expensive. i think i got my set for just under $1000.

Well.. this last page isn't fruitful with photos. I feel obligated to show a few I don't believe I've posted. Here are some creative shots from the car wash down in Melbourne, FL.

I think it's clear now. I have no pictures to back it up, so you'll all have to trust me when I say the answer to the title of the thread is "I DO!"

Really?
If you don't mind me asking, what are your girlfriends dimensions?. I get complaints all the time about the seats, doesn't help that they are cracked and torn in places, but i want to upgrade, i just need something comfortable to replace them with, maybe even something leather not sure yet.
