Why convert? If you like the S4 look, get an S4, cheaper and will look better. Converted cars are easy to spot, they never fit right.

Stay OB and have fun with it. That's the nice thing about a car that will never be a concours queen, or GTS collectible, you can do your own thing and not worry about other's asspinions.

Just rice it up with a big wing...and cannards..and vortex generators out of a captain crunch cereal box. Whatever, it'll be yours to have fun with and learn about wrenching on the shark.

^Because the dual spoiler set up helps with both eliminating drag and adding downforce once you break the speed of sound.

I was going to take off the bottom when I added the top, but found I like the look. Not for everyone. Guess I just have too much rice in my blood. I have cannards on my shark, like you even had to ask about the spoilers..

Yes, I have heard that he is a good guy, I shouldn't pick on db too much.

But there are echos of that same behavior here. Asking numberous questions about all kinds of modifications, seemingly disregarding advice from very knowledgeable and helpful people. And coming up with all kinds of questions about expensive modifications to beat up 928's, without first finding out about the basics of getting one running decently.

Its like pulling a danglerb.

yeah but i'm not aggressively putting down others telling them to go to the close minded forum. lol

i apologize for offending you, you should be happy i want to buy this car and fix it up instead of part it out except that parting it makes your car 50 cents more valuable

best wishes

Er... I wouldn't live by that motto if I were you. 90% of the time there is a reason why they are going that way, and it's a *very good* reason.

Where is the car your looking at located? I'd like to take up a fund so we can buy it instead of you and this thread can be closed.
