Nice one Ernie and it looks like a true Canadian 968. What's that front license plate?

The hatch trim painted body color was never a factory option, right?
Thanks
Jon

The early cars (92-94.5) have black b-pillars where the later cars (94.5-95)have body-colored. The painted rear hatch surround is not OEM, at least as far as I know.

Hey Jeff, there isn't a PCA 968 Registry decal available for our cars, is there? I don't want to go crazy with decals, but wouldn't mind seeing something small and subtle that allows us to recognize fellow registry members. Something as simple as "Porsche 968 Registry Member" in a small Porsche script that could go under the PCA decal would be cool.

Not on the standard options list, but could have been a special wishes option.

The Turbo S cars came from the factory with color coded hatch trims.

I have been concentrating all my efforts on completing the coupe registry which I did last month (a 14 month effort). I do have a new registry design which needs a little more work and then will be available. Then I'll use it for decals and embroidery. Stay tuned.

Jeff out of 4600 or so how many are out there and not necessarily members of the register. Odurandina, how objectionable could your politics be as long as one respects your right to have them regardless of how wrong they might be! Lol!!!!

I picked up a 95 cab in the fall and check in daily. I usually hang out on the 993 board. I'm very impressed with theses little four bangers and plan to do some mild mods in the spring. I already replaced the 17" cups with some 18" hollow spoke twists.

Default Hershey April Swap Meet

The rear hatch painted to match the car color was only done by the Porsche factory to the 4 Turbo RS and 14 Turbo S cars that were manufactured.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS
The Central PA Region will again host the Porsche Only Swap Meet, a gathering of 1000 Porsches in beautiful Hershey, PA on Saturday, April 23, 2011.

We had over 130 Porsche 968s attend this event when I hosted the 968 Celebration/Gathering/Get-to-Gether events in Hershey.

As Jeff Coe, 968 Register Advocate mentioned, there are 200 plus members of the 968 Register www.968register.org and Jeff recently notified us that there will again be a 968 event during the Swap Meet (Dinner friday night, 968 C
aravan to the Swap Meet plus other activities at the Swap Meet).

My wife and I will try to join the Friday Dinner but I will be working at the Porsche Concours and will not be able to join the 968 Caravan to the Swap Meet.

Look forward to seeing many of the Rennlist 968 owners at the event.

Don

p.s. I will be bringing my new 968 Pedal Car plus 2 very rare Starter 1:43 scale resin models (red 968 Turbo RS adac version and yellow Turbo RS Le Mans version) plus the new NEO 968 Turbo S 1:43 Resin model.
