My car also has the decal mounted on the right side and not in the middle:

I would agree, there is nothing to indicate that his car is an S. It looks like a standard US 81. US marker lights, no spoilers and 4.5L motor. Even if it was an S, everything that made it an S has been undone.

Well when I bought the car it was advertised as a 928 S and not knowing anything about the 928's at the time I assumed it was. I even found it in the registry with the "S" decal on it. So I guess in a nutshell Nicole it's my car and I'm going to put whatever I GD feel like putting on it. Feel free to ignore this "Irrelevant" post in the future. Jason

I had an '82 U.S. Competition group car as shown in the table. It basically just had the front and rear spoilers, and a different set of tranny rations, I think. The title said it was an S but I don't reacall if it had the decal on the rear or not.

Whoa...take it easy buddy. All she and the rest of us are trying to do is not have you put the wrong badges on your car. If you don't care if it says the wrong model on the back of your car, alright, but don't get pissed at Nicole.

Also, I realize that you may have thought your car was an "S" when you purchased it. Looking at the information you got about the car, I can understand why. However, your car is not an "S". Just to clear things up for you.

Jason: You can do whatever you want with your car. It's none of my business. You can even paint it pink on one side and purple on the other, with a yellow stripe in the middle. But if you ask me, if that's how they came from the factory, I will tell you that they didn't.

You are not the first person who bought a basic 928 "believeing" it was an S. Shady used car sales people have pulled this trick many times before. It does not make a car an "S", no matter how self confident the used car salesperson is.

But when you ask:
then the corect answer is: There never was a such decal on your car, so there is no correct location, either.

Well, not everything - the slotted wheels are S.

Nicole I realize after talking to Roger today that you really did mean well by posting. I apologize for jumping to conclusions. As I explained to Roger today I really got burned on this car so it really bothers me. I should not have taken it wrong. My apologies to all effected. Jason

Hey Jason, I know the feeling man! My first one was love at first sight, and she served me well. The second one - the one I have now - when I saw it after the transport dropped it off, I nearly sh*t....served me right for buying a car sight unseen! there was much wrong with it, and many tie strips holding things together, bad paint, and so on.
Nevertheless, with a bunch of TLC, (and many $$$), it has become more than what I thought it was at the outset. I jumped in it today and went for a 2.5 hour drive just for the hell of it!
Anyway, I looked at your car thru the Registry post - it is a real nice looking example. A real "keeper" if you ask me . no rub strips, no sunroof. Just take your time with it, and soon enough it'll be what you want it to be. I am still kicking myself for not buying a beautiful moss green '78, super clean, about a year ago. Real similar to Chuck's on the Registry, but not quite as exclusive. They're all great!

Ha! I never realized the horizontal runs of the "G" and the "T" are the exact same length!

I'm glad you realized that. Those who know me will tell you that I always speak my mind very openly - I neitiher BS nor sugarcoat things, I say what I think and know. If I'm not sure about something, I will say so as well - or say nothing at all. And sometimes I offer an opinion.

I've been on this board long enough - the guys had plenty of time to chase me away. But for some strange reason they did not...
