Here are some pics. They are terrible since I am in a underground garage with bad lighting. I will take better ones when I get home. The pics do not do them justice. They are freakin' OUTSTANDING! You get the idea.

Thats right, you are now the owner and CEO of an international company - LEO'S Porsche Decal Service Intl. How does it feel?

Looks good with the green, but is that scratches in the new paint just above the E, or the sun in a buffing swivel?

Leo, money go through ok?

Owning a 928 is risky business - but sometimes you just gotta say "what the fudge".

Marks from tape lines for decal placement-it'll buff out shiny paint scuffs with a touch of the finger

I think Gunar lightened it up a little as that 928 is Black and S is red. Not sure how but it sure does look good on his Green Bumper. I'll check on that later Riber, not really worried about the money.

Dano-"S" does look pink in the picture-Breast Cancer Awareness Month? That is just the result of direct sunlight washing over it. Color is perfect on my garage paperweight. Gunar

Ha ha. Yeah, I knew the pic wasn't what it really looks like. I'm very happy you like it. Like I said, it looks great on your Green Bumper.

Powdercoated, not Painted Al.

All depends on which one get's the S4 Front Brakes. They are supposed to go on the Gray 928 but will ride on the S for awhile. Yeah, I'm losing track too.

Rims were dropped off at Evans Tires to get the Dunlop Direzzas mounted. Got to see the 265's up close. One word describes them "OhYeah!!!!" I got there just before closing and told them mount them sometime tomorrow. I'll post pics of them when I pick them up after work.

Wheels and parts all look GREAT! It's all in the details. Now quit it, your making us look bad! Just kidding. I'm running 265/35/18's on the rear and they fit and fill out nicely. No spacers needed. Can't wait to see everything bolted up to your car.

Installed the Rims tonight. What a pain. 1st Remove Ghetto Rim and then the Ghetto Spacers (8 bolts on each corner). Gonna be sore tomorrow.

As you can see, the fronts spacing is super high since I can't drive it to settle down. Also,car is on a slight slope so the right rear of the car is sagged due to all the weight to that corner. Anyways, they are on and the Ghetto Rims will be on eBay soon enough.
