Long Beach here and when I get rid of another 10 944s, I will have space for a get together again. Its been a while since I got a gathering going. Jeff "porsche-o-phile", Kelly Chiu, and Scott "doridori" are in this area. I used to have my office in Anaheim a block from Disneyland about 10 years ago so I know the area well.

Not great pics but here it is. Pic of new wheels too! Only cost $250 w/old Pirellis on them (205 front/ 255 back). Had to get new back tires but the front ones are still good

Here's one I photshopped like a week after buying the car (Wheels, light tint, and decals). I'm getting the skirt decals tommorow. What do you guys think of how that looks? Opinions of how my car actually looks would be nice too

Maybe I am not one to talk but there is an appeal to me in keeping a car more stock. If there is a strong urge for modifications at least use stock parts off other Porsches...


just my 2 cents. Nice white 944 by the way - great color

Your car looks nice as it is. Especially with the turbo twists. I wouldn't go too over board on modifications though.

i like the turbo twist rims better. I'm not a fan of the big decals, but to each his own

I do think a turbo bumper would be a nice addition though.

I'm not a big mod person either. I'm was just inspired by some of the original 944 decals that went there. I just tried a solid stripe w/photoshop and lowered it to below the door because it would probably be hard to cut it perfectly to door and it would cover the large gap between the door and the bottom of the car (keep in mind these ideas came to me before I new about aftermarket skirts, which I'm considering now). It also has that black stone gaurd look like on some 924's. The fender porsche logo decal I never liked that was just me goofing of on photoshop. The turbo bumper and valance are going to happen. I love the turbo look, but I didnt have an extra $4000 dollars lying around. Plus I got a nice deal on this one so I decided then I would just upgrade the bumper. I love my new wheels they are definitely staying. You guys changed my mind about he skirt decal though Another 944 saved from ricedom! Thanx for the compliments too

the reason it looks ricey is because of the rims, buy some porsche rims, and paint them black and it will still give you the same desired look, while not sacrificing porsche engineering!!
