Awsome job, i admit also at first i really didnt like the tail lights, but now that i see them on the car i think they look great. I specially like that rear valance under the bumper....looks great! When you get the chance can you post more pictures of the interior?

Hi everyone,

Thank You for the kind words...

The Gauges are from a place called Driver's Edge, I got them from E-Bay a while back for about $40. The silver trim rings and flat glass conversion can be purchased from www.prestigeparts.co.uk
I also have the shift boot and **** from them, good people, took about 1 week and a half for delivery from England.

No, the car is not for sale, and I am located in Waukesha...

The color is Garnet Red with a little candy apple red added for depth...

Is that a bare metal paint job?
I need to find some quality brands for my next paint go around.
Let me know what you used (paint, primer, type of spray gun etc.) for that job. Looks like glass... beautiful

WOW! the paint job is awesome! I look forward to seeing it with the 968 wing. Will that be the adjustable one? Keep taking pictures and posting :-D

The paint products I use are all Sikkens.

It is not the paint that makes a paint job look good, it is the preperation for the paint that makes the paint job look good..

If people want to know exactly the procedure I used, I can create some sort of write up on the matter...

And no the 968 spoiler will not be the three piece, but rather the more simple stock one found on newer 944's and 968's....

Has anyone ever seen a 968 adjustable rear hatch spoiler in person?
I have and it is a BIG wing.... To much for me...

Very very nice!!!

Do you have a pic of the full guage cluster? And what tires and rims are those? They look awsome.

Absolutely! (Pretty PLEASE)

I love that first picture of the nose panel...You have an eye for photography.

Do you have a high resolution pic you could send me?

So I have been waiting for my 968 Fixed RS Wing from Van-Zweeden for about two weeks now, and I am hoping that this will be the week that I wil get it. I had to order through a newly starting U.S distributor for Van-Zweeden simply because if I wanted to order the spoiler direct from Van-Zweeden then the shipping alone was going to be over $300.

I have spoken many times with the people at Van-Zweeden especially a guy by the name of Burt, real nice guy... The spoiler alone costs about $340...plus you also have to pay a customs fee of 19% and a local tax for the Netherlands...The total direct from Van-Zweeden was over $750 when everything was said and done...

I will be putting the P-car into storage in about two weeks or less, so I might just have to wait until next year to put the spoiler on...

As soon as I get the spoiler in my possesion I will post many pic's and post a full write up about the quality of the product, etc...

Lead Foot,
Saaaweeeet! My beater is the same OEM color, but was messed up with a cheap paint update. Is that a Euro rear bumber or did you mod the OEM? I love how it blends to the body without the end extensions. Please write up your steps. I'll be doing the same to a 924S next spring. Thanks
