some fresh alpine white
Just got the car back from final buff+wax, it's not perfect but I can't complain too much. I did the disassembly+reassembly myself and replaced all the seals (except the window slot scrapers which refuse to go in). Also added the 968 handles and ditched the door moldings. Overall pretty happy with the results. Little bit of orange peel left in a few places but what can you do.. the price was right.

What a clean looking car. White looks so good. I really love the all stock look with the 968 handles. It could not get any better... Thanks for posting it.

Greg,
I cannot speak for supes but I probably put around $500 in seals around my car. There are a lot of small seals that you don't think about until you pull off a part aka badge seal, 4 handle seals, 2 mirror seals, 2 sunroof seals, 4 door seals, hatch seal, alarm key hole seal/grommet, roof drip rail seals, hatch keyhole seal/grommet, gas cap body seal, hatch receptacle seals, hood rubber bumpers etc etc etc etc
This is definitely an area where the wife cannot see receipts, lol.
Supes,
Looks great. Nice and clean. I normally hate white cars but on a Porsche it seems to fit.

Super nice. I have a new found love/hate for white cars with the C5 I picked up today. It looks absolutely beautiful... until a bug hits it. This car is going to put me over the edge with OCD.
