Why are the seats so shiny? Looks like somebody polished them.

Some of you actually like that? The lights themselves may be okay, but they are way too close to the edge of the bumper, like someone shoehorned them all the way to the edge. Makes the hood look super-long like a viper's. Those fog lights look like they were ripped from an 80's square-box car because they are so low. And that transition between the front fenders and bumper cover, argh!

It looks like a Gemballa.

I know one here in France, now with a GTS engine, also white/red.

It seems only 7 were made.

I believe Vittorio Strosek, and Uwe Gemballa worked together in the 1980's. Strosek does do a body kit for 300ZX, which is where those lights are from on that 928. If I also remember correctly, they started helping Alois Ruf with 911's, and then got to doing things independently.

In addition, there was a similar kit from Design & Plastic (DP)

Tschus,
Actually, Strosek worked for Koenig before starting his own company.
