Cool engine details. Not a fan of the light. too intrusive and too DIY looking.

Are you using rare earth magnets to hold it in place? That would be a cool addition if not.

Unlike your other mods, these have been done numerous times by others here.

I'm all for deleting the rear wiper, but removing the spoiler makes a GTS look somehow wrong in my opinion.

Why not colour match the plugs so they blend in better?

Also even the highest grade delrin has the potential for static electricity buildup (especially when covered by carpet).

Not the best idea over your fuse / relay panel.

Not to brag but I've upgraded from plywood to a rare German Larch wood, imported from the Zernikow region...

Randy V: The spoiler takes away the looks of the graceful french curve design of the 928 rear section!

I would have a problem matching the color so black is the next best thing.
