Questionable mods, IMHO, would be the Turbo spoiler (a little much on a narrow body and in need of something up front for a more balanced look), the 295/30 rear tires (might rub on a NB), the "premium wheels (what brand are they?), the side sills (again, just my opinion). NOTHING that can't be changed but they will make the car a harder sell (and most likely a better deal for the eventual buyer).
I apologize if it seemed so. I'm not eager to hijack this thread, but I'm simply tired of the juvenile chest-pumping of those who disparage a two-pedal Porsche and suggest that they shouldn't exist. Horses for courses, is my point, and wish that others would see value in setups different than their own.

Just contact the seller and tell him you'd like to pay him a certain percentage higher than his asking price, because you think it is wrong that people devalue Tips.

Installation of those ridiculous side skirts require trimming sheetmetal from the rear quarters. Another member removed a set from his cab and had to patch his quarters. The crazy thing is that the quarters need trimming to clear the brake scoops incorporated into the skirts. And the brake scoops are, you guessed it, fake.
FWIW - If I find this color combo in a 6 speed I'm buying it

If, however, you want/need a Tip, lucky for you, they are cheaper to buy than a manual 993. They are also significantly more difficult to sell so it's pretty much a buyer's market.

Here's mine: 993RS, Midnight Blue/Black, Aero kit (wing/skirts/splitters) delete, sunroof delete, and add back softback sports seats, airbags, A/C.
No wonder we both own 2 NA 993s.....

Would you mind sharing where you found that. I searched the VIn and salvagedb.com had it listed as salvage. Is that where you found it or somewhere else. Is salvagedb reliable?
If so that is really scary. I can see a minor accident escaping carfax, but a salvage? Scary.

Ok guys I'm lost here, so u guys are saying this midnight blue car has a salvage title? The reason I'm asking is because I know the owner and I know where he bought the car and honestly if this car has a salvage title the owner doesn't have a clue about that, also when he bought it I told him not to put that turbo spoiler but he said he loved the look

opo, in Texas, I believe it reads 'reconditioned title'. Could you ask him to check the title and see.
Also, is he the Olympia motorcars? Or are they selling it for him?

But why it doesn't show a accident report on the auto check that is offered by EBay
