Cool After a year of ownership...

I finally took some photos! I'm no photography expert, and don't have any photoshop talent. Just a sunny day after a wash with a digital camera:

Your car is beautiful! What are you using on the rubber to make it shiney?

After a year of ownership...
I finally took some photos!
You're as much a slacker as I am... I've taken a total of 3 pictures of my car, all in August (I think) a year after I bought the car

Nice ride!

I'm not usually big on dark window tint, but it looks good with that paint color...

I used Black Magic Tire Wet. Works wonders, and smells decent too. Takes a few passes to wash it off my hands, though...

Thanks for the replies, everyone! As far as the tint, it looks a little darker than it really is. I used Formula One Premier film, and put medium on the front sides, medium dark on the back seat sides, and dark on the hatch, with very dark and limo being the darkest options, which were just too dark for me to go with- not to mention the police factor...

I actually agree. I still have those wheels, but they need some work (curb rash) to get them to the point where I would put them back on.

Cool,
while I love the wheels you had pictured I feel the club sports are just "right" on the 944 turbo. They give it the perfect look. Of course look in my sig and you will see it is not just talk.

Nice! With a car like that, photography talent is not necessary!

[EDIT] Now when I read that, it sounds like I'm dissing your photo skills... not my intention at all... Just meant that the car would look terrific photographed in any location etc. The pics you took are very nicely done!

Yup- '88 Turbo S, Silver Rose Metallic. 79K miles. I had some idiot bark insults at me for my "pink car" while we were sitting in traffic on the 91 fwy last wednesday afternoon. it's easy to ignore, though, especially considering he was driving a beater ford taurus. i'm perfectly at ease with my masculinity.

Very nice! I also like my original wheels and was thinking about getting them polished and clear-coated. Were they hard to keep clean when you had them on?
