I think the Techart wheels look too HEAVY... I'm a bigger fan of a 17" wheel on a daily driver, fully knowing that extra 1/2" of sidewall goes a long way for ride comfort.

TECHART have their own in-house trim shop. All the interior was prepared in their facility in Leonberg, Germany

Really nice work. Where are those guys located, only in Germany?! Anybody have a link? I have no Facebook unfortunately.

Well, that's you, and of course tastes are by definition personal. I recently bought a second 928 and the first thing I will do is take the aero mirrors off...

and you would be the first person I know of to make that switch. Please pm: 77tony if interested in selling those aero mirrors. TIA T

Tony, I will be in touch with you in due time then. Thanks for asking.

What I really like as well is the speaker installation work they have done. I have to get into contact with them. On the second 928 I bought, I fear that deeper inspection will reveal a stereo upgrade that is a major hack job. This could be a mid-term option, because I don't think it will really be possible to go back to stock. In such a case, I feel that all the freedom is available. :-)

Guys; you have to see this. Posted by Sam Du from SuperStreetOnline from the showroom floor at the Geneva Motor Show going on this week. A beautiful black 928 S4 dressed in TechArt! I love it! What do you think?

Why would TechArt feature a car they currently don't sell any parts for?

Don't know but maybe they plan to make some in a near future.

To me, taking the time to work on a 928 and display there beautiful work at a major car show like Geneva is a great thing for the model.

Something we haven't seen I think in a while.

I like this.

They're testing interest, lots of automakers do this at shows. 928's are going up in value, so people are willing to spend more. They still offer parts for the 996/boxster's, and you see how that is going... you've got to diversify

They said somewhere that it's to celebrate the 30 year TechArt been in business and the 928 was the first car they worked on.

Because they provide restoration and customization services for all Porsches, not just the ones they make special parts for.
