Tony, man that looks good! I think you could use a bit more rear tire on those wheels, but damn, that thing looks GORGEOUS!

Tony, I thought you were a total tool for repainting. Man was I wrong. That is just stunning, very very nice.

Jon, Mounted 245/40ZR-18's (.6" taller that OEM) on 8.5" FM5's, and 285/35ZR-18 (.9" taller than OEM) on 11" wide FM5's. Went with a little taller than OEM sidewall for a little more forgiving ride being that we were going with the 18" rims. Also, chose the Conti Extreme DW's because of their low road noise, performace, ride quality and good price points. Texas Mile tomorow. James, will take more pics (High Res) next week after the Spring Fling weekend. T

Fan-freakin-TASTIC!!!

Come on Sun...we need to see it in the sunlight too! I still think the second painting looks like it is bluer. And I still like it.

So many questions...

Gonna put the antenna back on or hunt down one of the little shark fin looking ones? Well, since you didn't remove the door handles
And yes, I noticed no sun roof.
How about the non-gts rear bumper, gonna fill the PORSCHE lettering with something silver looking?

Tony thanks for taking the time to make your own GTS, it is truly a spectacular job.
The subtle things that have been changed make this car so much more awesome!
Well done sir!

That looks specatcular! Very tastefully done! I love the clean "no side marker" look - which is what I tried to achieve with the smoked ones on my car. I also like the S4 bumper cover on the GTS.

My only suggestion is to replace the amber turn signal bulbs with LEDs (and the proper flasher relay). That'll finish-up your front light modifications with the cleanest possible look.

The antenna, whiper, bumperettes and turnsignal delete make ane smooth car. I like the S4 back most, i never liked the reflector on the back.

p.s the color looks a lot like cobalt blue. I would normally be against any color change, but this looks great.

I like the S4 bumper cover, the GTS reflector has never grown on me.

Also shaved the door locks, rear wiper,headlight squirters, bee sting antenna, front & rear bumperettes, and left off the "928 GTS" lettering when the GTS rear bumper was swapped out for an S4 rear bumper. Sorry Richard, weather today calls for cloudy skies, and you are correct, the second paint really is a little more blue, and we really like the way it turned out. Still might add the license plate camera, but do not plan on adding anything to the rear bumper, re: lettering, etc. Looks like I'll be ordering those LED's and flash relays soon for the front turn signals, etc, and Thank you Nicole for the tip. Really liked the way Jim M's early rear hatch glass and led 3rd brake led strip looks, so might be swapping that out the current hatch glass. If anyone has a pre 85 rear hatch glass for sale or to switch out with mine, please let me know. I do plan on taking more pics after the Spring Fling weekend. Thanks again for all of the compliments, much appreciated. Heading out to the Texas Mile today. T
