How do you like the GTS spoiler? Do you have any more pics of your car?

More than anything else, euro bumpers really improve the car's lines. Of all the mods I've done, it's definitely my favorite.

I think we are near the tipping point. My first na years ago just lost value the entire time I had it. My 39k mile turbo was bought for less than the na. Lots of cars parted out. Now prices are rising and stock cars are worth a premium. Just bought an 86 turbo that needs work and a nice 968 and yeah the cool parts are much harder to find. The guys that built stuff aftermarket are getting older, retiring. New stuff isn’t always the same quality.

Yes, I really like it. A surprise benefit is the hatch is lighter with the GTS spoiler vs the stock spoiler and is easier to operate. My painter fitted it and like any fibreglass parts it need a bit of finessing. my painter cut some rain channels into it like the stock spoiler.

Thanks mate! I like the pegasuses - are those stickers, or paint? I plan on doing the same. Did you pull the door trim? I did as well - it's a much cleaner look. Are your rear valance spoilers Porsche parts, or AIR? I have an S2, so my car has them already, but they're actually surprisingly heavy and I was thinking maybe a set from AIR would be lighter. Great looking car - love the wheels too.

The pegasus stickers are from sierra madre. Yes, the door bump strips were removed. The rear valence is OEM, not sure if it was a Turbo or S2 donor. They came from Japan by yahoo auction. I would love to have them in CF. The AIR rear spoiler too.
For me, the low option cars always get me the most excited. I see a non sunroof, rear wiper delete car with a raised hub steering wheel, and sport seats, and I wonder if it's an M456 car or if it was special ordered by and enthusiast that wanted the lighter car with less options.
In regards to the manual mirrors, sunroof latches, manual windows, etc, I think the parts are just getting harder and harder to find. As these cars age, the parts become more and more scarce because more and more are off the road rotting away or being scrapped by uneducated owners.

Exactly. I had all those on previous cars and when sold, the new buyers had no clue what any of them were or even cared. Couple years later the cars get scrapped and those valuable, rare, HTF parts are gone. And with the price to buy in nowadays, new owners don't want any of those 'upgrades' if the car didn't come with them. They have no interest in modding. They want garage queens that are exactly as how they left the factory.
