How many purists?

I have just spent a lot of money getting my engine redone. My 928 is a 1985 5 speed. My interior is bad and I am starting on that. I don’t like the interior color it is like a maroon/Brown and the car is white. After going over and over of what to do I decided to redo it all original and start looking for the 928 that is black on black and an automatic, that is the color I really want. I will just have two 928’s I will call one venom and the other one anti-venom. I will be broke and want be able to drive either one of them!!! The white one was my first and I want to keep her pure!!:cool:

I'm a purist.

You want a S4 look, buy a S4. You want an OB, buy a OB. Don't remove a S spoiler and add something else. It just kills me to see anything that is not original. (as far as looks. Engine mods and other mods are OK with me)

I am actually considering removing the rear spoiler and wiper from my '90GT...

The anchor nuts in the spoiler on my '88 S4 are nonexistent, so the spoiler had been attached with three inch deck screws. Chances are, it will not be going back, as I have grown to live the slick look of the white 928 with no spoiler. Then I'll just change my mind and put it back on later probably...

I am normally a purist, but my car has the vinyl dash, and it is not in good shape. So, when I have the money, this car will have a pretty heavy interior transformation. The 928 interior is cool, but I think it can be made a lot better with some modern trimmings. I envision a dark brown leather dash, with light tan alcantara pieces, with mostly white stitching, and some pale blue accent stitching. A little brushed aluminum to replace the black plastic in the center console. And maybe some teak, or light oak trim along the doors and dash, with some white LED's hiding behind that, for a very subtle lighting accent at night. Meh, that'll never happen, but I guy can dream, right?

Anyway, IMHO, do what you want to the car. Make it yours. If I don't like it, well, I just won't like it, but if you like it, it is all good...

Stan, I do like that race car bro! Looks AWESOME!
