How to make a 928 look a bit more like a 2009 Model
Check this Euro GTS
TechArt Airbag steering wheel, clear front and side flasher lenses, blackened upper tail lights providing for a contemporary look.
Not sure I like the black wheels, though... original wheels and steering wheel are included, though.

Okay I see a new airdam (don't like it)...new steering wheel (don't like that neither) and blacked out rear turn signals?
I do like the white on dark blue color scheme...very nice

I too don't care for the look of that car in the least. Paul does MUCH better steering wheels either stock or aftermarket (I think there is a 3 spoke airbag wheel that fits but maybe he actually did that for a 911 and it won't fit on our cars...hmmmm) the rest of the interior is TOTALLY stock and the black out job was not well done on the back and the lip spoiler looks like crap... That is why there is chocolate and vanilla though...some people will LOVE that car, apparently only one person here, but still some will like it a lot!

OK, there doesn't seem to be much love for that one... Note that I did not say "how to customize" your 928 to the max... I just thought it had a few interesting updates.
The Strosek spoilers are a matter of taste, of course, and not required. I agree that the front one would scrape easily - but remember this is in Europe, where many cars come standard with lower ride height - bottoming out is not as common there as it is on our roads.
BTW: If I were to buy and register this car in Germany, my insurance would be three times as much as it is here in CA.
What specifically is not well done?

Actually, it is a Strosek NLA piece. Dan P. from Atlanta has one on his supercharged car... and it is not any lower than the stock spoiler except on the leading edge -and not very much.
[edit: Dan just posted same -beat me to it]

Nicole, they just didn't look quite right to me... I think maybe they should have been made red or something not black... I think it is Jim M's GTS that has a really nice tail light look that I like, that one not so much... It is no less jarring than the stock look, it is not cohesive to me.

if you want a modern 928, check out my avatar. Its been discussed here before as to what is the current 928. I used to hear 6 series and some other junk but just look at the avatar. And if you think a 2 door version of the ungainly Panamera is any competition then your drunk or something. Just look at that thing! And check out the similarities
same 3500lb weight
same dimensions except length where the 928 is about 5" longer
it even comes with a V-12 if the V8 isnt enough.
Oh and a rear mounted 6 speed and a hatchback!
OH OH and rear seats that are about as useful as the 928's as in there are NO rear seats.
Oh and the best bit, they depreciate about as fast as the 928 did. You can get an 07 with 6,000 miles for about $65,000 I have to let the cat out of the bag! Those english things are awesome!

Strosek still makes it or at least they did not too long ago.
Its ROW thing like almost everything else. There isn't any real difference between Euro and rest of the ROW cars other than country specific changes of which there were many within cars sold to European countries also. For example many French sold 928's had yellow lights while practically all other ROW got normal version in your pic.
