Do you always drive around with the tow hook in?
I like the wheels, except the "rivet's" around the ouside I cannot stand. And no, not al true 3 piece wheels have them:

Thanks guys, appreciate every comment!

Hacker- I always drive around with the tow hook in, Ive had my car rear ended so I figured next time someone will take out the front...at least they will get a hole in their bumper. If I break down, no sweat! Also, lastly my favorite- the joy of knowing if someone walks to close to the front they will bang their knees on it

I love the look of that wing and that hatch. Excuse the ignorance but what's it off of? I've never seen a 924 or 944 with a hatch that looks like that.

Very nice. But who stole your rubber bumpers?

Looking awesome Sam. How did you end up getting the centers to fit?

Sam,

Do you just use the interior hatch release switch to open the hatch? I cant get my key to fit in the hatch lock with the 3rd tail light in on the 968 hatch, so I took the tail light out. What seals did you use for the two latch assemblies? The 968 seals that you have to screw into the body, or did you put the 944 latch assemblies on the 968 hatch frame?

I use the interior release switch, but I can use the key if I must. Not the easiest, but its possible.

I used the 968 factory seals (my body shop did the install), Its been many years since I added the 968 hatch but I would be glad to provide closer pics if your interested.
