Default More Eye-Candy on Auction (Japan)

'94 GTS VIN WPOZZZ92ZPS2800230 (???) comes up at USS Tokyo on the 10th, Lot#75093 with 35,300 km. Makes my eyes water, nice lurid purple with two-tone interior(!). Left Hand Drive, Grade 4/C.

They are add-ons to comply with their laws, and the stock fender remains underneath. No extra room for tire underneath....

I have never found a part number for the front extensions.
The rears are readily available out of Germany but pricy at $537 each R & L

There are several Japan auction sites that can broker and arrange shipping. It's not too bad importing into Canada, essentially impossible into the US without ludicrous expense. I have bought three cars into Canada through a guy named Mark Bremner at Braveautointernational.jp, (no affiliation apart from customer relationship).

What is the name of that color, looks cool. Is the interior marble gray? Wonder if it came like that with a different pod color or maybe someone changed it, don't recall seeing that on any other 928 ...

Hard to say but could be Amethyst.

Very likely.

What the heck happened to the dash/center console? Looks like it's covered in suede and a bad job at that.

I will have a Japanese GTS one day.

Whoever owned it must either be heavy smoker or gadget freak. There is at least two extra lighters installed into dash.

I agree with the heavy smoking behaviour and badly-behaved gadget retrofit trend commonly seen on .jp auction units. On this one, I was wondering about the dash retrofit myself....so it is non-stock/non-option adder...
Thanks for sharing.
