Are those the stock door handles painted white, or did they fit 968 handles on? Reason I ask is it's a bit tougher to use the 968 style handle due to the lock. Maybe new locks? Any more pics of the car? How about some interior shots? 
Congrats- she's beautiful.

I would keep those wheels man, maybe get some spacers for the rear to push them out a bit. Color matched wheels are awesome. When we gonna hang out? I'm done with exams the 11th. I'll show you what your car will look like after another 130k miles; maybe that will make you take better care of yours!

As far as the door handles i really dont know it does have side skirts and a rear lip the rear wiper was removed and capped with a metal plug so somethings were done to the car i also noticed the front bumper has already been mod to look like the German front bumper mod. other than that i dont know. as far as keeping up with the car im very pickie about it all my cars are well care for. the wheels are chipped so im getting them redone for now until i get the after market rims, as far as hanging out im M/F 730 to 4 so im free every weekend. we should have a NC Porsche meet. hopefully we can set one up!!!!!

Well, do you want to go hang out with the Raleigh guys Saturday morning? Mostly 996 guys but a couple of them have owned 944s. I could go this weekend.
Yeah I like those side skirts a lot. My paint is original and I would hate to have it repainted, but at the same time my paint is pretty beat and is chipping off in a lot of places. But I guess the whole car is beat so I don't worry about it and just beat the car more racing!

From that last picture it looks like the ride height may have been adjusted. Is the car level? Rear looks kinda low compared to the front. Whole car looks lower than stock, though. Doesn't have m030 does it?

Really nice. I like the color and the mods seem tasteful and not overdone.
The plug on the hatch glass could be factory, I think that's the way they came if you didn't order the rear wiper.
I HATE the Porsche plastic panel between the tail lights, get rid of that.
Looks like a great buy, especially with that milage.
