The factory only puts one badge on their cars, and all of them are gold-plated. The only exception to this rule that I can think of was the Weissach cars from the early 1980's, which had a second stainless steel badge mounted on the dashboard. There were only 205 of these cars ever built. A stainless steel badge is also glued onto the intake manifold of the 2-valve 928's.

Some people paste a large badge sticker on the fenders, close to the "A" pillar and door. I think that this is a good look, though it imitates the Ferarri GTO and isn't in any way shape or form "pure". I'm pretty-much a purist.

-One thing that many 928 owners have done that I appreciate is the mounting of a Porsche crest on the ashtray door. You can buy a cheap key ring fob with a gold Porsche badge and grind off the top part that holds it to the leather fob, then glue it to the door. I haven't done that, but I think it is a nice touch.

The Bleumax - 78 5spd, 52K, cat delete, airpump delete, magnaflow exhaust. Great sound and much lighter than my former 84 and 86.5 - feels faster (altho it's not):

Linderpat- I don't know which is more beautiful- your 928 or that AMAZING view you have behind your house. What gorgeous country!

[Linderpat]

Thanks Morriss. Here's another scenery shot from a fun run a few of us took two weeks ago along the Beartooth Hwy at the Montana and Wyoming border. This is at 10,800 feet! The views were stunning.

[Linderpat]

By the way, the 930 on the end is a RUF conversion, and the silver S4 is supercharged with the prototype 89GT engine. These cars were scary fast - it was fun to watch them pull away from the rest of us like we were standing still - while we were all cruising at 120+ mph!!! (the silver S4 is for sale too)

10,800 feet! That's cool. How did the car run?

-Did you know that if you were operating an airplane instead of a 928 at that altitude, you would be required by law to use supplemental oxygen?

Hi Normy - interesting you should ask. The Bleumax ran fine, but the S4 had a slight overheating issue at that altitude (it's supercharged), the 86.5 flooded at one of the overlooks when we stopped, and took a bit to start (we actually swapped a fuel pump relay and it started, but later confirmed it was just flooded), and the vette - not pictured, suffered an electrical breakdown (probably due to the road conditions - lots of resurfacing going on, and something vibrated looses on the vette battery). Definitely had some running issues at that altitude. It was like flying in a jet fighter as we wound our way up the narrow switchbacks and looked down into the vast valleys below. And yes, there was snow in August up there.

Thanks, I think the pics make it look better than it really is. Still plenty of work to do but getting there. I wanted to make it to breakfast on saturday but couldnt pull it off, planning on next month.

Nice 928S! What year? I think the OZ wheels look good with the color.

I love that color: my first turbo car was that color. Mark
