Like it! Looks contemporary and classy.

I've always liked black cars, even though they're hot and difficult to keep clean.

Hard to believe that 928 is about 30 years old, still looks great.

Here are some interior shots of this car and a teal one they've done... lifted from their facebook page. Quality job... does anyone on the forums knows who did the work? Very impressive.

Honestly flawless... I'd be surprised if Paul wasn't commissioned for this project.

Seeing as 928 values have skyrocketed with some high mile GTS's going over original sticker, makes sense for them to tap into those buyers

This brings up a good question. Has anyone successfully tried to dye their leather stitching?

My wife did that with her last car and a full large cup of Peet's Coffee. At least I am a good cleaner though and reversed the dying process.

The black one must be an early 1991 model, before they the airbags became standard in the non-US models. The craftsmanship is incredible - the stitching is incredibly straight and even.

Of course, I like the teal GTS even more.

Both are stunning. My only complaint is the flag mirrors on the 87. I'd have gone with the later aero ones like the teal car. Other than that, they're virtual perfection. Thanks for posting that Weissach.
