Another specific feature of C32 is option 150 (no catalytic); unless mistaken that's the same option which are on later cup-cars.

That would actually make sense more than bumbers having been changed to more normal ROW model. I knew there were non cat version available in Middle East with option M150 but didn't expect US bumbers. Someone must have brought it into EU as part of goods while permanently moving in. Othervise it should be little difficult to get non cat GTS into plates.

Normal ROW front end for comparison.

not bad, i havent ever seen a 928 body kit that i really loved, but this is probably the best, i still the the profile of the front spoiler isnt very nice but it looks pretty good, great color!

Michael,
That is one sweet car

That is the nicest 928 body kit I've seen. It is similar to the Jaqamond (sp) but not quite as "obvious", it is a little softer. Great choice. I especially like the front spoiler

I like the finished product, didn't care to much for the in process pics. I wonder if Porsche continued with the 928 would it have a front end like this? Considering the 996 turbo and Cayenne turbo had nearly the same front end, one can only assume the same would have been done to the 928.

Good Luck with it you should get a lot of looks in that car.

Michael,

Can you post some more pics - are the rears the standard GTS dimensions & do you have a good side view finished?

I think you did a nice job here! What was the design motivation for the front.? A specific look or just a desire to update or be unique? Seems like it has a big hint of Cayenne/996 TT in there.

Seems like your shop does nice work. I know it took a while. Do you have any interior reconfig work going on also?

Alan
