Beautiful car! Love the color. It's amazing to me that just a few slight cosmetic upgrades, like wheels and aero mirrors, plus a color that still looks contemporary, the car looks like a 2009 model! Timeless beauty with performance to match.

PS. I know the speakers are all wrong. I am just glad it can be "corrected' by a simple door pannel replacement and new carpet on the door - if needed. I'll live with them for now as they sound decent this way and I know I can put back to stock fairly easily.

Wow, that is one sweet 928 in great condition! You need to take it to Frenzy so we can drool over it!

Glen, Thanks, I am deff planning on going to some GTG's. When/where are the Frenzy's? I need to find some in NJ, NY area!

Is that your car in the picture next to the fighter plane? Where can I see more pictures of your car? I am drooling over those rear quarters.

Ed, Thank you. The car just grabbed me when I saw it in person. The mods were everything I would want to do - already done. I just have to control myself. There is surprisingly alot of fun stuff I can still do to her -- like the sport seat conversion, alacantra headliner and pillars. I found a great looking set of race pedals from SRP racing. I also kinda wish my S4 capipers were red. Kind of want to change the radio back to something more "stock". The one in there just looks "wrong" to me. Bummer because I threw out not one but two stock Blaupunkdt's from my previous S4's -- just a few years ago!

Very nice car and welcome back! I love the combination of mods in this car and the condition is great.

Here's a GTG we're having on Labor Day weekend. Maybe you can make it to Sharks at the Beach II. It's not like Frenzy or any of the big ones, but it's local and it's only in a few weeks.

We've also got a few other things planned for the area in the next couple of months. Tony (Toofast928) is working on a dyno day and a day at the track. Stay tuned...

Nice OB! The windows look like the early "bronze" tint -- emphasized a bit by the interior color and possibly the white balance settings on your camera. Take good care of that glass -- it's very hard to find replacements.

Funny, I just wrote off the amber effect as an illusion of the interior. I checked this morning and now I see they are indeed am amber hue. I will be sure to be extra carefull now that I know my glass is comprised of a heavy amount of
unobtanium. :-)

That back view has been Berry Berry Good to see. Great color and the bronze window color is magic. Welcome back.

There are pics all over the place of my cars but here are a few more for your thread here...

I will have 4 (maybe 5) of the 7 at OCIC in a couple of days... One of my friends is looking at a new job opportunity and might need to be working on Friday (fingers crossed for him that he does have to stay here actually).

Pictures like these will be the subject of a 2010 calendar I am producing too so watch for that availability soon!

You could just trust Paul to get the match right - he does seem to know what he's doing.
