Default What are these things under my car?

There are 3... 2 near the rear jack points and one in the front center in the tub/spare tire well. I dont see them on my buddies 964... Any ideas?

Look like air jacks. Does your car have them? Did it have them?

That's what it looks like to me as well. With two in the back and the one in the front center. Be very odd for a street car though.

Spare tire well looks normal to me. No weird switches or anything. The place I bought it from said they replaced some panels and stuff inside the car but I dont think it was ever a track car?

Can you give a more wide angle shot? what is on the inside of the car?

Really looks like air-jacks to me... That would be the most odd thing I've ever seen if someone put air jacks on a street car.. but how cool...
