Those Japanese fender flares look UGLY UGLY UGLY <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" /> I say...I always thought that was something they were adding on from the local parts store right before they attached CURB FEELERS!!!

I've always wondered: How do these curb feelerd work? What do they do? Is there a warning lamp that flashes on the dash when it touches a curb?

A few months before 928 production ceased, Porsche started offering a special edition 928 GTS on the European market. It was only available as an automatic and in two colors: iris blue metallic and aventura green metallic.
It did have a very unusual feature:
- Wider front fenders with 8" front wheels - I believe this was otherwise only available through the Exclusive department. The fenders look like the regular fenders - no additional flares, just wider. You would not know unless somebody tells you!
Other than that, this edition model was equipped with:
- Full supple leather interior (including the whole steering wheel and the trunk cover, etc.
- heated seats.
- sunroof (not standard in Europe).
- Blaupunkt Bremen Radio/Cassette (why not a CD is beyond me).
Porsche issued a beautiful folder at the time, which contained 9 heavy stock cards - 8 with high quality photo prints of the blue editon model with grey interior, and one that gives an overview of the technical specs. That last card says: "The best reason not to drive an 'elevener'" ("elevener" is the nickname for the 911 in Germany).
Since I have two of these folders left, I put one on <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=42607&item=2414149883" target="_blank">ebay</a>. The other one stays with my own collection.
