Brandon, when your ready I recommend Wizards polishing products (I use Mystic Cut after wet sanding, Finish cut for routine polishing), Meguiars sheepskin (if you have sanded, this is the first step polishing with Mystic Cut) cutting and polishing foam pads and a rotary polisher. I like Zymol carnuba wax but there are a lot of waxes out there that do well. The clay is the first step. I had to clay a fair amount of overspray off of my car after it spent half the summer at a body shop.

Paul, lose the OSU sticker and it would look much better. I have a wire brush on my drill that will take that sucker right off.

GO BLUE

Re-seal, 964 cams, Patrick Racing lwf/sport clutch, K27/K29 hybrid turbo, FVD fw sensor bracket. Increasing the fun factor

It looks great Paul! Unique color, very nice. Curious if you have tried clear side markers on it? Might or may not work, I can't decide??

Steve, no, but for a time I had the Euro fender markers, along with Euro reflectors (non-functional; installed with 2 way tape) in place of the impact pucks in front.
Might go back to it some day if I buy an RS rear center for the bumper.
The P.O. had the clears installed when I bought it. The calipers were black, also. IMO, it made the car look dull and the stock turn signal lenses and red calipers liven things up just a little.

Cost and ease of installation, although a GT could be in my future....I'll have to see how I like this set-up.

Yeah for sure it is being a PIA to fit. I've modded 5 things just to get it to fit. All I know is it better hit 1.3bar by 500rpm!

WOW! that is beautiful Paul, noticed is it true the US Spec Turbos do not have side repeators-Side indicators on the front wings? It looks cleaner and looks fresh without them.

One of the best looking colours in the Porsche Turbo range and the polished Speedlines bring the colour out more!

Jealous!
