Lovely car! Congratulations!
Question ---- did the previous owner dye half of the front door panels black? Why I ask --- normally when I see upper and lower dash in classic grey, as well as the steering wheel in grey and the rear side panels in grey, I expect to see the front door panels entirely in grey.
(yes, my car is nearly entirely classic grey on the inside)

I haven't figured out how to curt and paste prior questions - sorry. Also in response to Jlaa's query on the two-tone door, I am told by my local 993 expert that the center strip that is "stippled" is always that color. A black interior will more or less match the stippled leather, but if you have a grey interior it contrasts to the stippled black portions. Hope this helps clarify!

To Mo and Foxman and any other 993 owners……….How about this Saturday morning? I know it is short notice but I am out of town for a few weeks. Not sure where you live Foxman but how about Porsche Dealership in Burlington? or you name the place. Let's do it early Ralph
I'll do my best to make it to C&C on 10/18.

Larz Anderson museum. 15 newton st, Brookline. A few of my friends are the guys have organized c&c here for couple year snow. Always a great turnout. Nothing's scheduled for September as their usual show " cars and copters" was cancelled because the airport it was held at couldnt handle the volume of cars. But the Brookline get together is always a great time. Congrats on the 993. I'll have try and spot you on the roads some time.

Ralph ^^ Glad you guys got together. Great-looking group of 911s
Jim ^^ Really means a lot coming from a new owner as passionate as you!
What's incredible to me is the unmistakable zeal so many have for 993s. Don't lose that enthusiasm, that's what makes this place great
Case in point of the power of 'new guy' excitement: amazing job sharing your pics & details to help others on page 1. Wonderful write-up of your DIY
If mine helps anyone else, more info by clicking hyperlinks for my DIY details on the "Rennlist/ PCA member's 993 SPEEDSTER" thread:
-2009's page five and page six
-March 2011's page 30, a summary for TommyG when he asked how to mod.
Good to see what MagDaddy, JPP, etc., have since done with Mike J's idea.
The following's from Mike J's "Sold the Targa" thread:
Jäger...
What, if any, modification was necessary to affix front license plate on the grill of the euro bumper on your speedster?
Looking to do the same. Thanks
Nod of appreciation to Mike J & Robin Sun for pcarworkshop.com, & p-car.com, respectively.
Mike's been an inspiration in another area critical for those of us making an effort to be legal...
My state requires a front plate, so I've studied Mike J's. Instead of cutting edges, I folded, then covered with clearbra. [Caveat: possible that bottom should ideally be >12 inches above ground, & face shouldn't be angled. ...Add that to your endless mod list.]
Regarding air flow, no negative aspect, IMHO. IIRC, neither oil cooler nor A/C compressor are impacted in the center.
Thanks for an attractive option, Mike!
