Close, the actual name for it is "sunset pearl" but it was layed over a dark burgundy basecoat, so it came out darker than anticipated. But it's got more pearl in the paint than metallic so it has a neat color changing effect.

It looks different from other angles and under different lighting.

Same car, different wheels, out in the sunlight:

This car started is life as a ROW 924S now will finish it as a 944.


Suspension was also upgaded, with to long of a list to post

That looks like a 924 not a 924S , note the 4 lug wheels...

it's also missing the side reflectors, assuming the European models had them.

___the early row model didn't have side reflectors,only the row 924S had small markers located high on the fenders(see pics).

I think those are ATS wheels on the 924/944, very cool.
