That's a beaty! What size are the tires? They look smaller / lower profile than stock size tires.
The front right corner (headlight and bumper) needs adjustment too.

Hey - Favor? I see you bought what look like new black Porsche OEM (Porsche Classic) floor mats. True? When you open them, mind taking a pic of the front mats? I’m trying to verify something with the color of them.

I bought a set of these mats in 2017 ish, right when Porsche Classic re-issued them. They showed up and were dark grey with black PORSCHE lettering --- not black. Very obviously the wrong color. I questioned it and they said “that’s what they are”. I have since heard since they changed the color to actual black. Anyway...

I will have to check on the tire size. Literally just received the car this morning and just inspecting it out. It drives like a champ for sure though. Needs some things changed out but that’s expected with an old car. It’s very clean for the age for sure.

They are OEM black mats and I have yet to open the bag they came in. I’ll open it later and check.

Got home and checked the tires sizes. They are 205/55/16 up front and 225/50/16 in the rear.

Was able to take some time to review the documents from the previous owners on the vehicle and I am truly impressed with how he maintained this car. So much preventative maintenance work has been done on this car which is a blessing!



Also found this receipt along with some other very nice upgrades he did.

Nice. Thanks for the mats pic. Yep, they are black now.
Also that Fabspeed exhaust is now $3500.

Need to buy some dual filament amber bulbs for the clear turn signals.

I had Pacific Paint Match come and restore the side door moldings on the car. They were discolored and needed to be redone. Also had them take care of some rock chips on the front bumper. They do great work!

What a lovely example , and the lights on the front end look great especially with the clear indicator lenses.
The paint work looks fantastic.
Is the turbo badge in the right spot? - it looks a bit low to me😶

Went off the measurements from Pelican forum. The bottom of the "O" on the turbo is about 1" above the seam on the rear hatch. 🤷🏻‍♂️
