Default hi, im new on this forum

Hi everyone, well im new to this forum and new to the porsche world,
im from qc,canada

i recently bought a 1988 944 turbo with my dad...
so far, i put on a racing dynamic strut bar, k&n filter, changed one of the side marker, put new shiftboot, porsche license plate

things i want to do: fix the ac, fix the little oil leak, a good compound, and more lighting! and maybe 968 mirrors and door handles

here's the pict( not with the parts)





do you think i should tint my windows like the picture under...


pleasure

that car looks great!!

if you want to shine it up a little heres a good thread...
https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ght=bumperette

or you could do what i do, after a good wash get a mother's powerball and some rubbing compound and use a drill to swirl it around the body and then just buff it out. it puts alot of shine into the paint, takes off some of the contaminants and puts a layer of wax down all at once

love the wheels

Nice 951. Be advised that, for some, tinting the rear hatch too dark hampers rear visibility at night to the point that they've regretted it. That said, some tint is also desireable to limit heat build up from the sun.

Welcome to Rennlist.
so i better not go too dark for the back glass, maybe like 70% tint?

the thing is, im still unsure if its better with tints or without tints, what you guys think?

thx !

Tints for sure. That way you can listen to really embarrassing music an no one will be able to see you.

Like jewel or something.



Not that I listen to jewel









often

I kid, I kid....

i've always liked 44 with tint but not many people have it, and a majority of the time my windows are down anyway so there is really no point.
