Go for it Dan, especially after seeing Nicole's pictures. Gives you a great idea what it's going to look like. If you got the hips, you might as well shake 'em a little...

Yes, Hankook 295/30/18's on 11 inch C3 rims off of a 997 widebody.

I am in the S4 rear bumper camp BTW.

The GTS reflector is a negative for me.

Same color as yours. It was sunny and blue sky that day. A few hours later the guys got rained-on heavily. At least 16 of them...

I'm not a big fan of it, either. But it's a matter of preference and the ability to deal with the buckling reflector.

I'm in the S4 camp and I own a GTS! I also go along with Gregg's minimalist approach.

Nicole, I'm in Stuttgart right now and have been all over Germany, Austria and Switzerland the past 10 days and haven't seen a single 928 and you post a picture of two of them. How do you do it?

There was a 928 gathering and fun drive near my parents' house on September 12... I think there were at least 16 928s there of all ages, all in beautiful condition.

One of them (from Switzerland) appeared to be wrapped in matte black vinyl, with some areas done in carbon.

Have fun in Stuttgart, and don't miss the Porsche museum! Anders and I also did a factory tour, visited their dealership at the Porscheplatz, and spent some time at the Mercedes museum. We also went to the Meilenwerk in Böblingen where we checked out vintage and exotic cars, and got to sit in the new Lotus Evora.

Dan, as long as you don't stick a GTS emblem on the back, I say to continue with the 'GTS-look' and get the GTS skin with the rear reflector.

There are way too many 914-6 and 944 turbo wannabes driving on our streets.

S4 camp for me, but get what makes you happy Dan, that's all that really matters.
