I think the turbo decklid on SC's looks awesome.
Thanks!

The SCs are "bullet proof" they say. Mine was my daily driver for about 4 yrs and I now drive it 3 or 4 times a week. It's been super reliable.

I could have driven it as I bought it (only had a leaky wheel bearing and a few other relatively minor maintainance issues) but I had it gone through to make it a daily driver (paint, windshield, cookie cutters changed for 16" Fuchs, SSIs, Bilstein Sports, t bars, ya da ya da) with the intention of never selling it.

Contrary to many's belief, a Porsche isn't intrinsically an expensive to maintain car (at least the SC isn't) if it's kept up. Mine's about to turn 200k on orig. rings & bearings (had valves, and mildly pitted cams ground) and I don't add any oil between 5000 mi. oil changes.

The turbo decklid was factory installed. They're cleaner looking, IMO, without, but too floaty at 85+ to suit me.
