Where does one find the clear corner markers? I thought that I had read something where people were trying to use the 993 clear markers but the fitment was crap...saw a few pics with clear markers in the posts though...

For you 968 Coupe owners: On the 968 is the lower edge of the quarter panel window larger due to the glass/rubber? Is the actual window opening on the body lower than the 944 also? I've never got a chance to see one up close to compare. All the 968 glass I see seems to have the inner black out trim at the bottom where the 944 is glass all the way to the rubber molding.

Kuhl--the rear quarter glass is actually flush with the body, that is why it looks different. The interesting thing is that Porsche kept the same doors and door windows from the 944 series, so the window on the door is inset and the rear window is flush...interesting stuff they did in Stuttgart to pinch pennies during the dark days of the early nineties.

Thanks for clearing that up. Does that mean that we can possibly get the flush glass look on the 944 by just buying the 968 QP glass and rubber molding set?
I'm not saying I prefer the flatter bottom line of the 968 window opposed to the sloping 944 line but I do like a flush glass look.

The cut out for the rear quarter glass is different on a 968 shell verses a 924/944 shell. Different size and shape.

Thanks Eric! That is an awsome shot of your car!!! BTW, this thread would be suitable for some video footage of your last race.. wink wink nudge nudge!! 1:20@mission, not bad!!! Apparently I was doing about 1:28-1:32 on A032Rs in my 968 on my first outing at Mission...

My car, and my dream car, side by side!!!

Below the Oil Filter, and behind the Power Steering pump, IIRC.

Here you go Rich. I got down to a 1:20.1 in qualifying and I think 19's would be easily doable once I get more time on that track. Of course I could use a stickier tire and get even lower.
