Is listed as Meteor Grey.
267 Self dimming Mirrors
404 19" Turbo Wheel
425 Rear Window wiper
640 Sport Chrono Package Plus
680 BOSE High End Sound Package
P77 Leather Sport Seats
X54 Stainless Steel Exhaust Pipes
XAA Aerokit
XSC Porsche Crest in Headrest
Heated Seats
Rear Center Console in Exterior Color

I'm sure there's more I'm missing and or forgetting. I had ZERO intention of buying it when I went to see it. I didn't even ask specifics of options. Drove it, loved it, very fairly priced, extremely clean and documented.

I didn't take any pictures. I stole these from the dealer site....not the best interior shots.

Nice list. Only other desirable options it could have had was Full Leather and PSE. Meteor Grey is actually my favorite color. Nice find and enjoy her.

Used maguires swirl remover and yellow wax, Hand polished using the swirl remover and then applied the wax. Came out pretty good and if I used a machine it would have taken them all out. Also applied leather conditioner. Tomorrow I'll install my short shifter,

That's going to look great! Where did you end up getting the bumper from?

But, turns out we have three days of rain in the forecast. I put the top up to be sure it still works. Haha
Haha, that's great.

not to hard; comming with all wires use foot lights power and it will be easy; but after this I will hate all your other lights so you need to change all your internal bulbs use osram ones they perfectly matching with door sills lights all others are looks bad as led.

Thanks for the reply

I'm going to get the non illuminated ones so I shouldn't have the different light problem.

Put it in the winter storage garage. Extra air in the tires, rolled onto carpet, trickle charger. Couldn't find cover. Ordered new one. Found old one the next day, of course. Old cover was for a 77 930, so I doubt it would have fit anyway. Now hoping for a dry, no-salt-on-the-road day to get her out.

Finally wrapped up my front bumper! Spent months gathering parts and trying to do it with a budget in mind. Probably needed paint, but was surprised how well it cleaned up and did a touch up on the rest. Front lip was painted with plasti-dip for a nice matte finish. On to other projects!
