Thumbs up

The Fikses look similar to the Fuchs. I wonder how JP would look lowered and with black wheel centers. Years ago, I saw a wide bodied 928 in Hong Kong with Fuchs on and I thought the car looked very sharp.

Steve, These are the Fikse Classics and really like the Artic Silver matching center caps so they will stay as is. Plan is to lower the ride height to spec, adjust camber, and align after the recently ordered 4 post lift arrives. Herman K will be leading the way. No more working on cement floors with these old backs. T

Would be 100% sleeper if not for the powdercoated calipers warning potential tail-light victims.

That interior could not be any better for that exterior color if you had planned it! AWESOME! So glad I got to see it and hear it at 3rd Coast! What a cool car! Wish I could have had a ride in it!

R, Did think about black calipers to maintain that "sleeper" effect, but the sound gives it away
