These will look great on your black car @ECNJ ! The wildcard was that I got red covers for the front side markers but they look awful and would likely get me pulled over. Trashed them and will probably get a set of lightly smoked just to darken the side markers a bit. I will take the car out later to see what these yellow DRL's look like but so far I like


Ha, u beat me to it again. May do something with air vent trim. Looking at carbon fiber parts. We’ll see. I’m very deliberate with mods…slow poke.

I'm feeling very MEH about the yellow DRL's, I think they are coming off Big fan of the rear reflector black-out though, it looks so clean.

I agree on the yellow covers. Why not just turn on your emergency lights and kill the flasher to make it static? Just messing. That looks better. I took a pic of my T with it on while flashing on….LoL

That sounds like a blast, I live in Albuquerque, NM so we get snow sometimes, a lot of black Ice and freezing winters, always below 20 in the morning

Exactly I got mine for 9,500, with the replaced IMS and RMS and its had not really any problems, I tracked it for a few days when I was starting out learning to track, had no issues as well, They are the best honestly. It had like 30k miles in it in 2018 it now has over 60k

356A, real or replica? In any case, driving an old, small NA with carburetors is an experience.

Regardless if it is a replica or real, its a piece of history still driving on the road, It is so cool to see at least 70% of all Porsches built are still drivable and road worthy and driving on the street

Ha, I was thinking the same thing. Real or fake? Don’t know enough about them to know for certain. Just know my friend’s is the real thing. He’s an industry guy and he wouldn’t lie about it. Love the curves on it ha, even if replica.

Yeah, bankers are addicted to coffee and love sports cars. Remember the countach in Wolf of Wall Street?

The replicas are very good and very hard to tell from original when done right. I’ve got a fake from JPS Motorsports. A real 57 speedster would be way too rare and expensive for me to drive.
If you ever get a chance to drive one of these take it. The 356 is the original rear engine Porsche and drives amazingly well.

My old car - bought new in 2004

Felt like a rocket ship at the time but was 381 bhp - almost identical to my new T!
