Those are the side markers. Normally I believe they were orange in the US, and clear in Europe. These look like blacked out clears. I actually stared at these as well the first time I looked at the add. I don't think they look good, and rather than blending in, they actually stand out.

Not sure what these wheels are called but they don't do it for me:

yep. after the blast of the turbo set in some I'm now missing the raw, throttle steer nature of a well set up impact bumper car... the experience has also convinced me that my dreams of at some point owning a 993 were not actually the 911 I would enjoy most. the traction control, antilock brakes and heavy feel are not the driving experience that floats my boat.
also, on experience. having owned, built & maintained an aircooled racer for a number of years I know my way around those cars which is comforting for me. I just never fell in love with the turbo like I had my previous 911. it's a great car, just not the 911 for me at this time.
plus, I never got the promised rennlist stickers when I paid to become a full fledged member.... ya, that's it.

to follow up on the market speculation I did sell the turbo today to a very cool porsche-phile upgrading from an early 996 C2 for nearly what I was asking at $45k. the car did well on a PPI at 52k miles, low over rev numbers, and the new owner having driven 4-5 cars said this car shifted better than any he'd driven. original clutch that still rated above average for mileage according to the PPI and the addition of the wevo mounts & tarrett softy green transmission mounts I suggest contributed to the superior shifting. he also seemed to notice no significant difference in cabin noise from the mounts and the fact I did the holesaw mod to the stock exhaust.
we were both thrilled with the deal and sale experience so I hope joe from Benicia is happy with his new turbo. I'm now in search of an 84 thru 86 aircooled Carrera to start my next chapter. thank all of you guys here for the knowledge, tolerance, and hospitality during my turbo ownership experience. it was a cool run, but I found my true love lies elsewhere in the 911 lineage.
glad to have owned, driven, worked on some becoming familiar with the 6t!
