Very nice! I go back and forth on polishing mine. Probably leave them stock and get something else for dress up.

I'm in agreement. The two more classic designs compliment each other, but on the 80's-futuristic design of the 944 that same style doesn't seem to fit.

Phone dials aren't works of art themselves, but at least they're a somewhat unique "feature" of the 944-ish design. And to be honest I have liked the look of some sewer lids I've seen, but only if they're on a grey vehicle.

Thanks but I'd trade them for a like new set of original ones. One of mine was ruined with wheel cleaner and another had a chunk missing that required welding, so they couldn't be anodized like original.
