Hmmm.... If it were me, I think I would prioritize getting some wheels for the car ahead of most of the other stuff... <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

It already has turbo twists, so it looks pretty updated. If they were stock wheels, no doubt I would pull the trigger on those first!

    I installed the Becker indianapolis pro in mine. It has an iPod interface too, looks OEM (since most Porsche branded radios are Becker anyway) and it has navigation.    



oops something went wrong when adding the picture

This steering wheel conversion, shown on my car, can be done. It is not quite bolt-on as it requires a change of the clockspring mechanism that is behind the wheel, and a little machining to the wheel hub. These are not sophisticated or complicated, though, and I am delighted with the result. Subsequently, I had the wheel rim modified with padding and new softer leather.

15 year old, real clean low milage cars are becoming very rear, when you get the opportunity to buy one, buy it quick, before it slips by..

Johann,

That becker looks like a nice match for the 968. Does the NAV function as good as it looks?

Well, I knew it would happen. I'm in sales and they always say that the easiest person to sell something to is a salesman... I just pulled the trigger. The owner is out of the country so it may take a few weeks but my name is now on the top of the list. we agreed on the price. I wish I could post the pics because it looks really nice!



Thanks for all the help. Now I need to start posting about mods. First off is to protect the front end with the clear bra. Anyone have a good recommendation for a place in the East Bay (SF) or SoCal? I'm thinking the Venture film.

So, I found a quick way to post some pics. even though the pics are tough to see, it's pretty darn clean. I'm looking forward to working out the details so I can make the drive down the coast from SF to LA. Not sure how to make them larger though...

I like the pics...Buy the 968! It has beautiful lines and looks like a classic. A bonus is that there aren't too many of them around.

Here you go.. By the way, first thing is getting rid of the S off the back of the car. It's not a Honda.. I'm suprised it has the airbox mod done to it, the previous owner must have visted this forum in the past. It also has the euro clear corners installed.

tech art spoiler - interesting - not too many of those running around

---

Should I pull the trigger? - T-Bone - 09-06-2008

Believe me, the first thing to go is the "S" off the back. I didn't think there was an S version and it was confirmed when I Googled it. Is that really a TechArt rear spoiler? Sweet. Looks like maybe the first owner did the airbox mod and most likely the spoiler. These owners have only had it about 2 years and haven't done anything to it but drive it. The car was originally from San Diego. I still marvel at the cleanliness of the engine. It's almost as clean as I keep it!



Thanks again for the comments.

Wow T-Bone, what a sweet ride! CONGRATULATIONS

The Techart spoiler he was referring to is the front spoiler, the rear one is stock. There was a 968 Sport version, but only sold overseas, it was basically a stripped down version.
