Greetings from a newb.
#1

Hello all. i just recently joined the forum and thought i should introduce myself. my name is Dino, im from NYC. i own a 1995 968 Coupe(Midnight Blue, 6-Speed).



here are some pics of my car. comments are welcome...both negative & positive.



the car currently has a front splitter & 18" 993 Hollow Spoke's re-finnished in anthracite. Volvo paint code: VOL 932, which is the same color used on oem Volvo 850 R wheels. other then that, its stock. i also have ROW front turn signals, H&R springs, Koni yellows & a KLA strut bar which i havn't got around to installing yet. i'll post some more pics when thats done.





in its current form.

welcome



word of caution - follow the instructions on the KLA brace CAREFULLY!!! the correct location and orientation is counterintuitive - incorrect location will result in very ugly dents in the hood



but it works great once it's in



enjoy

Beautiful car!! Welcome! How long have you owned the car? Any problems with the 18" 993 wheels? Any special offsets needed on the front or rear?

Again, welcome!

Jeff

you know, if you could get eliminate the front bumperettes by finding some ROW lenses that were CLEAR, I think that would really enhance your whole dark grey-dark blue theme and complement the grfey wheels.



Sorry I know that might sound a bit ricer-ish but I've seen clear turn lenses on some 928's and was surprised to find I like it.

Since that is my color combo of choice, and I live 1 1/2 hours from NYC, I get to echo Sean, *drool*!

thank you for the compliments guys. sasilverbullet, yes...i live in Manhattan.



ether joe, i toyed with the idea of getting clear ROW lenses, but from what i know(perhaps i'm ignorant), all the clear ROW lens don't fit perfectly, as they are either aftermarket or designed for the 993.



jeffm40, i've owned the car for about 8 months now. i don't have any problems with the 993 wheels, they are OEM Hollow Spokes. i'm running 225/40 18 & 285/35 18 rubber.
