It's just a wrap.

And its supercharged....

Nothing wrong with a wrap IMO, unless its hiding some nasties underneath.

Lot of money spent on that interior.

I normally like flat black on cars, but it doesn't work on the 993. Seems to hide the curves in the body.

Could be a decent car .. and I do like the wrap concept, cheap way to completely change it up for awhile .. but how would you check the paint quality underneath without removing it?

Thats the million dollar question and would scare me off this car unless it was a LOT cheaper.

those were my exact thoughts, the MBZ BS looks real good in FB, but not the 993 me thinks...

I agree and am surprised about it actually. I think part of it though is the whole stance on that particular car (awful) but regardless, I thought it would've looked better and have actually been thinking about doing it.
Almost did it 2 years ago when I was offered it cheap for promotional reasons but bailed out, now I see flat black cars almost daily so there's now way I'd do that anymore. Flat white, orange or maybe even red, but flat black? No.

Detailed item info
© 2011 Chrome Systems, a DealerTrack Company. All rights reserved.

1998 Porsche Carrera S. Black on black. Flat black custom carbon wrap on the car. This car is in immaculate shape for a 1998. It has been garaged and professionaly maintained.The Porsche only has 47000 miles on it. The car comes equiped with 18" custom Kinesis wheels, black with polished lip, factory emblems. Carbon fiber hood and turbo s rear wing. Painted black with reveals to show the carbon. Eclipse head unit with DVD, and Kenwood navigation system. Seven inch touch screen in visor. Factory carbon fiber interior including door panels, steering wheel, door handles, switch housing, dashboard, and parking brake surround. Performance supercharger and intake. Extra 100 hp over stock. Engine fan powder coated red. Silver face gauges. All extras have been installed by a professional. We can ship country wide. Please call or email for any needed information.

You are welcome to take the car into any certified dealer for a PRE BUY INSPECTION. The one is PERFECT. Call or email for a viewing appointment.
For $44,988 BIN, it had better be perfect... Agree with all above that the flat black just doesn't do it for the 993. CF look wrap on the lower edges all around, door sills, bumpers, stone guards, door handles....where does the CF madness end?

I see "Chrome Systems" in the ad...wonder if he's related to our old friend CROME? Nah, not enough CAPS LOCK IN THE AD!

that looks like a WB to me...under all the ugly. The one pic shows a boxed rocker section...a C2S?

Really, it's screeming rennfax to me. Somebody local ought to just go and take a look at it. Overpriced and all...who knows, maybe there is extensive photo documentation of the paint before the wrap.

If under all that ugly, and IF the stereo install didn't butcher something...it's a 40K mile last year 2S. Might be worth a look for somebody.

Really, that car puts the ug in ugly...IMHO.


edit...just looked again at the pics "Carrera S" script on the tach. It's a 2S folks
