Very nice looking track car. The euro bumpers look so much better than the U.S. ones. If it wasn't so much trouble to get I would have done that instead of the turbo bumper conversion.

I can't tell from the pics, but are those 968 mirrors, or 935-esque mirrors? I have a 935 mirror for the drivers side, am considering ditching the 968 mirrors in favor of that. Of course it needs to be modified to fit in the corner of the door window properly.

It looks great with negative on wheels and it must runs great on track. I would love to try it but maybe someday my 944 will be so good as yours.
Thanks for your answers.

Good to know if I get as serious as I would like to be about reducing weight!
Thanks!
