Default I'm back in a 928....

After the last 10 years with a 944 s2 as my daily driver, I'm back into a 928 (last 928 I had I put 175K miles on the clock before selling it). Bought a 1989 with 80k miles (velvet red), paided high NADA, but it is a really clean car. I tried to talk myself into a 911 or Boxster, but the 928 is still my favorite. A couple of quick questions: Pervious owner removed the rear muffler with a RMB, nice tone, but too loud for daily driving, ...Also need an extra set of keys made, can a good key shop do this or do I need to go to the dealer?
Thanks, great support group that you guys have developed...

I think this is who Samantha is referring to. I wouldn't go to a dealer for anything if I could get it somewhere else.

Welcome! Here's a link to a guy that some on here have used with success I believe too!

Now since you are just up in Atlanta you need to make your first Shark event to attend the 48 hr PCA races in Sebring Fla. the 2nd week in Feb! See the ongoing post about it.

That guy can cut your keys from a good digital picture of the key!

Ahhh... behold the power of the Shark! Welcome back!

Edit: I used Stuart at Keys4classics.com for my keys. Just send him a high res picture of your existing key, and he'll make them from that. Pretty unbelieveable, but mine work perfectly! I think it was about $75 for 2 keys including shipping from Australia - maybe a bit less.

I used Tony Euganeo for keys and locks for my 88 - he does excellent work and is fairly priced - definitely worth checking out...
