Here are the others. Cropped, resized to 200 max on a side and brightened up a bit. I use Paint Shop Pro by the way.

Andy use that last one. It's the view you want people to remember as you pass them. Ha!

They're all so damned tiny! It's hard to see the car! But thanks SoCal! If I remember right, you did my old Avatar too!

I really DO have to get those clear lenses. What's the deal with them--are they available from an online supplier? How much? Are they street legal??

Simon--Stick with silver!

You need pictures of the car in the sun with a dark back ground. No white houses!

Also no shadows on the side of the car facing the camera.

Brightness translates into sharpness when you reduce the size of the image.

White cars in the sun get all washed out. These are fine for an avatar!

Best photo of a white car would be in a well-lit indoor garage, I think.

Too good for snows, maybe?
But I want my car to look awesome in the winter as well!
I hated those D90's last winter

If the rears where 9" like my 993 wheels I would probably make them my summer wheels and the 993 16" my winter wheels.

If I actually drove to work, I would either need winter wheels, or another car for bad weather! I just drive a mile to the train station. And, my father gives me his 90 Accord beater when he goes down to Florida in the winter. By early November, the 944 will sit in the garage, waiting for clear days!

Andy...

Lookin good fellow white 944'er

If you ever get the itch to spend more money on the car, I would put lowering springs on the list. Lowering my car really made it look killer...wheel-well gap is ugly!

Hey Andy, check out my old 87 951, too bad it's a crappy pic.
Had a K27 and all kinds of stuff, it was a monster.
Too bad is was stolen.



White is a great color for that car.

Marc--Looks a lot like my S2, thanks to SoCal's photo repair skills!

I don't care about wheel well gaps! I like the stock look. Engineers designed the suspension, and I trust their judgement, even today!
