they're worth it, tho. don't forget to order clear lens protection as well. when i first put these in - within a week - one of them was hit and broken by a rock - an expensive lesson. no problems since i put the protectors on.

Whoa!!!! Brian did you fall down and hit your head??? Is the sun too hot in Miami??? Your selling your car??
That is surprising but I guess it happens. You must be getting married huh? BTDT.
I wish I was in a position to get another one but that would lead to divorce and she would probably end up with the car.....
This is a very nice car. I have worked on it, driven it and lusted for it. If you are waiting for a sweet *** 951 guys this is it. Don't fool around thinking too much. This is the one.

LFA - nah...i'll keep em right where they are!
chris - hey! great to hear from you - and thanks for the kind words - you did good work on that car and have helped to keep it in it's present condition.
and while there is a wedding on the way, thats not the reason. i've just gotten so busy down here that there is no time to drive it. i AM intersted in the early 996 models tho....heh heh....

thanks.
thanks.

It's an '89, so it definately has LSD, M030 (although 968M030 is slghtly better than 951M030), ABS, &, airbags (although this is unfortunate...)- Sorry to hear you're leaving us Brian- I am still planning to do the euro driver hook up & want them just like you hooked your's up now... I think... there was a question about the flashing thing you had set up, but I've decided I like that now- I did come up w/one other question but can't remember it off the top of my head- might PM you later... I love the car though- looks like you've got some great mods on there...
I do have several questions- when you said to get lens protectors- are you talking about the headlights too, or just Euro drivers? Where can I get these & how much should they run & have you noticed anything negative about them- I;ve always wondered if they would fog up w/age or anything??? Also, the Polks you have in stock 10-speaker locations... Do you still have 10-total speakers? I'm assuming you have 6.5" components in the rear, but what about the front? still a seperate 3-way set-up?? That would be really cool & very original- I'm looking at a 3-way component but am mounting 6.5's as the larger driver as I never found 3-way comps (other than factory) that had a 5.25 as woofer... Anyway, sorry to see you go man...

hey robby - well, don't slam the door on me just yet! i'm thinking about an early 996....but a tip so that my fiancee can drive it. but thats another topic for another time. we'll see - first things first. but i'll always be stopping by the 951 list.
i hope you get some use out of the fog/driving light write up - its a bit nebulous until you get in there....but i love the way it turned out on my car. just what i wanted.
to your questions:
lens protection - i don't have them on the headlights - just on the fog/driving lights. i got them from jason at paragon - try this link: http://www.paragon-products.com/prod...64.005.080.htm
$18 bucks. haven't noticed ANYTHING bad about them at all. i installed a pair of the euro lights and within a month a stone had broken one - the only negative is that i wish i would have put them on originally!!! no fogging, discoloration or cracking. they look like real thick versions of the rear quarter panel guards.
the polks:
the PO put em in, but i can tell you that there are 10 drivers there. 2 in the hatch cubbies, 2 behind the seats, 2 in EACH of the armrest enclosures and 2 tweeters up high on the door.
amp is in the left, rear hatch cubby.
Nize - i do have the dyno charts - i'll scan them and post.
i gotta ask everybody - especially as i prepare to put a listing on auto trader - am i in line here on price? i know its high relative to the other 951s that are for sale - and everybody always thinks their car is worth more than it probably is, but i'll admit that i haven't had a ton of inquiries on this car. yeah - i know - not exactly the best time of the year to be selling a sports car for most of the country, but....
also - to be clear - i'm in no real hurry to sell it - it puts a big, fat grin on my face whenever i'm lucky enough to get it out on the road!!!!
