With regards to the rockers, I've only seen 968 rockers on 944s that also have the 968 rear. How would they look with the stock 944 rear? I thought they would look a little funny as the 968 rear line doesn't quite match the 944 rear quarter....

Do you have a photo?

Daniel,
I understand where you are coming from, but I actually think it looks great. And I will be losing the black undertrim along the way. Exactly what Im after.

Where's yes and no? I am planning the handles (actually have them) but for the mirrors I am going to Cup Car mirrors (ala VW), just something different I guess, seems everyone is doing the 968 thing these days.

Already have the 968 mirrors, spoiler('91 S2 really), and sideskirts . . . no plans to upgrade the door handles. I don't see the attraction in the handles, but maybe that's because I have a dark colored car

That does seem to look better than the stock black ones. Where do you source them and how much are they?

Sammy- is that water in the side marker light?

Nope- my car only get's upgrades that directly affect performance or longevity. It's not aboput style (I think they LOOK GREAT!!), but i'd rather drop 400 bucks into mechanicals.

Matt, do you have more details on the Cup mirrors? I'm not a fan of the flag mirrors and don't care for the look of the 968 mirrors on the 944. I've planned on going the Cup mirror route along with you but I don't have much information on them yet.

Jerad, yes, I have PN somewhere, they are really nothing more than VW Rabbit units so far as I can tell. I will try to dig out the PNs and send them to you in a PM.
