Very nice 924. I'm jealous as I want one but don't want to do all the work that you've done to make yours like it is! The new interior is definitely the best part of it IMO. Very nice install!

Also I will be selling my Cup 2's soon. Factory 993 units, et55, 7s and 9s. There is one other guy interested but if he isn't I can get you a quote for shipping.

I love them too. I think they work very well with the 924S. I want Cup2's so bad. Maybe if you buy these it can support my Cup2 fund?

Ahh thanks man. Coming from a guy with a 951. That's nice to hear. Yeah I'm gonna have to agree with you there. The interior is by far my favorite part. I mean the paint is great and everything obviously. But I believe every 924S should have had this interior. The old one was to much of a VW. It bothered me. That'd be great though dude. The thing is I just used all of my money for paint. Maybe I'll be able to sell my flat dish and phonies. PM me. I'm really interested.

Thanks for all the comments guys! And to answer some questions: I'd love to push in my front bumper, and rear. The rear I'll wait on because it's more difficult. But I just need more info for the front and I don't see why I couldn't do it. The side markers were deleted by welding a metal plate in the hole. No bondo here. You could do bondo I guess. But I feel better with metal.

Looks great - I like the look of the shaved off side markers.

One other suggestion I would make for the bumpers would be to try to find some euro bumpers. getting the euro brackets and fiberglass bumpers shaves a good deal of weight off, and (in my opinion at least) they look great

It looks nice dude.

I'd definitely add a euro rear bumper. It looks kinda goofy with no bumper pads in front and bumper pads in the rear.

I'd love to have euro bumpers. But right now I have other things that need tending to. Like the seats... Lol. Bumpers are defiantly a must though.

Thanks. Yeah it looks a little goofy. I'm going to push in the front bumper eventually so that should help I hope. Either way, the rear pads are coming off eventually.

16 inch phone dials would look better than cup wheels...especially if you got a staggered set up like, late offset 7 inch in the front, early offset 7 or 8 inch in the rear

Yeah I think phone dials would look great. My dish's seem to have some weird hold on me. I really think the Cup2's are the best choice though. It's that or sport classics.

Please don't push in the front bumper. It would just look like you ran into a wall and haven't replaced the dead bumper shocks yet.

It looks great as-is.

IMO i like the bumpers just the way they are. Granted, if i had the choice, i would really want a euro front bumper. Nice 924, looks killer in black!

Wow really nice looking 924 S. I am so jealous of sport seats! The new paint work looks awesome. Keep up the great work.

I have phone dials too.... but they are 15's. Lol. 16's? I wonder if they would look better. And I'd love to have a euro front bumper and rear!!!! But I need to focus on other things like my seats and rims next. I'm thinking instead of recovering my sport seats. I'll just get GT3 seats!!!!!!!!!
