That's a good looking simple car, isn't it? Sometimes manufacturers just get it right and these things are "right".

Nice car, those could be factory brochure pics. You put a 44 wing on too?

That's one of the nicest 924's I've seen. Nice pics. I love taking a simple drive in the evening.

wow!, thanks all the nice compliments everyone

No i didnt add a 944 rear wing..I added the entire 944 hatch :P
(my but dyno says the larger spoiler did infact add greater downforce over the smaller 924 unit)

the seat covers I got off Evilbay for $81+15s/h (only bec someone else drove the price up from $69) <gigidy heres a link to the Co. Most of their seat covers are around $180<
NOTE: 2 tone covers are usually the only covers offered with a low starting bid

Its amazing how inaccurately calibrated butt dynos are.

Unless of course you were doing over 120, then the extra downforce would be a function of the spoiler actually spoiling, not acting as a wing (which it can't do, as it's too soft to support any load to actually contribute to downforce).

^^ oh so true!! butI never said it was so, just appeared to add a slight amount of DF in the turns around 70mph over the 924's shorter spoiler.

Were seats completely split? Mine are and was wondering if these would still fit, or if I would just rip off the off original seat covers and put these on.

they slide over the existing seat. these are pretty good quality and are themselves padded slightly. my drivers seat was beatup. both seams were split, and youd never be able to tell now . The Co. also included a pair of matching black seat belt shoulder pads fo freeeee I had similar covers on my x1/9 (even better quality) AND i LOVED THEM!!
