Since purchase, I've also replaced all exterior bulbs & cleaned sockets, plugs, connectors, etc. Fog lights not working so I've got a relay en route...

There are suddenly two or three listings on eBay for multiple copies of the early front spoiler, and each for around $500 or more, new.

Found one on a website I mentioned in another thread for 350 including shipping....unless I find a better deal I will most likely order it in the next week or so. Will also need to order the left brake duct trim as well ( I am assuming the left is for the drivers side)

Default Update

Just updating my progress...

I have all exterior lights working including the fog lights. In the process of swapping all the lights to LEDs

I have all the interior lights working with the exception of the rear seat dome light which is toast.

Replaced the turn signal combination switch which fixed my headlight low beams intermittently cutting out.

The fog light bulbs were actually bad. All other light failures on the car had to do with corroded connectors.

Having so many lights not working when I bought the car really made the car feel like a piece of crap (no front bumper lighting, side marker lighting, intermittent interior lighting, intermittent headlights)
....what a difference getting all the gremlins out makes.

Will get some pics out soon. Waiting for the new to me grill to show up in the next week. Also planning a mod to the rear lighting....just waiting for the parts at this point.

Default Grill Installed

Just got my new to me front grill installed. Have not yet attached it to the front spoiler (May look to an alternative way to attach it so hitting the front spoiler doesn't take the grill with it).

If you are talking about to the right if the center console, it appeared to be some type of arm that held possibly a laptop bracket or such....not sure...have since removed and disposed of

Love the car. I would also remove the rear spoiler and clean all the debris underneath. Touch up any paint work so that the rust gremlin is kept at bay.
Good luck with it.

Lovely. Really clean car. Keep up the good work....perhaps mine will look as good in about 10 more years.

Drum roll please...what was the selling price of the car? This is important to add to the multiple discussions of 928 value going forward.
