Most of us have done something to change the look and feel of our cars. I'm not talking about perfocmance modifications here, but visual things that make the car appear unique or different from stock.

We've seen pictures of many such modifications in various threads, but I think it would be nice to have one thread as a central repository for such changes.

Please post your pictures, and describe either how you made the change, or where you purchased the items for those changes. Be as brief as possible - you can provide links to other threads or your web pages that have more detailed descriptions of your modifications.

Let the "show" begin!

Couldn't find a good shot of the car with its old paint despite having it that way for 4 years. It was in worse condition than this photo would have you believe, here it is in Rubenrot.

Here its is after having the side mouldings removed, aero mirrors and some Arena Red paint.

Interior was original all Burgundy with vinyl seats, yumm. I had to replace it after one year just couldn't live with it .. never buy an interior you don't like the color of, the biggest mistake I made .. or am willing to admit to anyway

Here is how it looks now.

Well, I have posted my interior mods before, so here is the link to the main thread on it: https://rennlist.com/forums/928-forum/170073-928-interior-decorating-and-improved-shifting.html

What I have is a partial Jager interior kit in synthetic carpatian burl, with matching shifter plate, small boot, and series 2 wide button shifter. I also put the brushed aluminium numbers 9-2-8 on the door sill for a nice, updated look (the clear part was starting to get a little yellow).

On the exterior, I have 17" turbo twist wheels, GTS mirrors, and a unique Chopster conversion...

All vinyl seats in a 928? That's so rare, it should have collectors' value!


Did you purchase the new leather seat covers, or did a local upholstery shop make them for you?

The Yellow Car is mostly Speedhut instrument mods, and Sparco Steering Wheel, with Jager bits. The Black car is mostly Jager bits, Momo Steering wheel and shift lever as well as the Eclipse Nav. The glass hood was custom made out of an E-Bay 1982 hood (I did not realise it's a hair narrower than the 87 hood) and a scoop with a lexan panel which has backlit LED lighting for night. Also I've blacked out the tail lights (a local firm applied the spray), as well as color matched the spoiler in gloss black and tinted the windows as much as legal would allow.

Malibu310 -

Have you ever gotten pulled over for your tail lights? I had to watch the center tail light to know if you were breaking. Turn signal? Forget about it. On a sunny day, you simply can't see them.

They do look cool, however.

Just did it... according to Minnesota law it's OK... they actually are not all that "Black", almost like a dark-dark red in real light. The shine as if they are not painted when lit.

having driven behind you, I can easily say that they do not shine as if they are not painted. they're more like that really dim christmas bulb that's about to burn out.

Malibu,
Beautiful engine bay you got there.

seats, re carpet and redye rear seast and side panels to match.

i had steel accents on my interior for about two years but just changed it all back to black. Id go to a carbon accent but i dont care for the glossy glaring look of the options out there or the glossy wood finishes. If i can get a matte black carbon finsih on trim, i may try that.
Each there own....which is whats fun about seeing all these cars toghether in one spot
bottom pic is today. (tranny and oil temp in the lower left corner...water to be added) I took my alpine faceplat apart and refinished it in a textured matte black to match the rest of the trim.

I am extremely happy with my slightly upgraded interior. Momo shifter, shifter boot and analog clock from 928 Specialists; Momo steering wheel from 944(Expedition 4?) from Ebay.

Based upon the previous posts....I have nothing worthy of posting! I like this anyway. I've since painted the "928" on the sill gold....

N!
