Just came across this, pretty well done little video with some nice 968 footage...

Not a bad looking car for 20 year old model!

Not generally a big fan of white cars, but I really, really like the Grand Prix white look on the 968. I also like the contrasting carbon fiber side view mirrors ( again, while not a fan of carbon fiber trim on anything as a general rule.. ). The things that I'm not crazy about : that steering wheel, the "brackets" on the turbo rear wing, and this is about to solicit a lot of flames here, but I never liked the front spoilers on our cars.

I agree , not a fan of front spoilers either .



I even like the the Original steering wheel with airbag .

To that point, these are not sport cars, they are elegant, GTs, albeit "sporty" . If you leave everything else stock in the interior ( OE seats , etc ) I can see where maybe the Porsche three spoke steering wheel - the air bag model - still looks as if it belongs, and arguably even nicer than the OE one, but if you start messing with mods that lend themselves to a sports car, you really need to change the entire aesthetic, not just one component which will stand out like a sore thumb. Perfect example of what works : flash's custom seats and other interior changes that are all in synch and give the design a consistent appearance. But that is not an inexpensive conversion, lol. However, if you have a combo street-track car, that's another matter altogether...go wild, lol that's where function over form matters. As for the front spoiler, it makes the car look like it's from the late 80s era..a tad ricey. And, if you put that conspicuous turbo rear wing on your 968, it better be able to 180 mph + lol. All of the aforementioned, IMHO of course.. ;-)

Lol, the saving grace for you is that you have everything else matching the look ( seats, above all..) and also the whole car is really set up for competition. Sounds mean also :-). But yeah, you should be able to back that rear wing up with some respectable top end speed , not some piddly 155 mph, lmao .

I think Flash's spoiler enhances the cars look! I have it on both cars and it looks great. They do chip though! Lol

Yeah, but you also like two-tone shoes ! Juuuuust kidding ! Hey, anything (ok, almost anything ) appearance-wise is a personal preference thing ..no right or wrong, so whatever floats your boat :-).
