Thanks herdy. Getting rid of the yellow lenses on older Porsches like 944s and 928s really updates their look.
My current 84 Euro S with clear corner lenses in the foreground and my previous 81 Euro S I also converted in the background (along with clear side markers on that one).
Same on my supercharged 79 but with smoked front & rear side markers to make them disappear into the bodywork
this thing looks wicked fast. Is the 928 game as budget friendly as the 944? Prob not but maybe close?

Interior stuff is what's expensive on the 928s now. The engine stuff is similar to most Porsches unless it's a special model like the cams or heads for a high compression 84-86 Euro model.
I've been working on Porsches and modding then most of my life, so my frame of reference is probably skewed
Just wrapped up a big week of work on my son's S2 while he was on Spring Break.
Remote Power Door Locks and Hatch Release, new Sony BT stereo, interior powered antenna that actually now has him getting all the radio stations around the area, new lighted shift **** with new leather boot, auto-dimming rearview mirror, new middle dash panel (thanks Elliott Grafton) that now fits flush since the left edge tab isn't broken off, & an auxiliary fuse box to power all these new electronics with individual fuse protection and to not mess with the factory wiring.
Secondary Fuse box for the new electrics. One side is constant 12v and the other switched. Each circuit is individually fused and don't have to mess up the OEM wiring.
Auxiliary Fuse Box mounts with click Velcro up and out of the way.
Remote door lock actuators installed
Lots of wiring fun
Relay used to convert the ground signal from the remote lock controller to a 12v trigger to pop the hatch. Original switch works also.
While running wires from the battery area for the new fuse panel, fixed a small hole with JB Weld then painted the try with Eastwood Rust Encapsulator texture paint and cleared the drain channel.
JP testing out some of the new stuff
New Sony head unit installed and new shift **** and boot. Radio has BT streaming and hands free calling, display colors are customizable to match the interior lighting, shift pattern illuminates red when lights are turned on and the radio dims. Radio is 45 watts RMS and powers the Infiniti Kappa speakers installed by the PO well without amps. Also has an app to customize the settings.
