Nice car! As for the wheels, are they 17" or 18"? You should check your options sticker under the hood. Those look like the optional Turbo Look wheels.

Traffic in Austin is nuts. And people say LA or Houston is bad!

That's a beauty! Congrats.

Thanks for the tips guys! It has just under 70k on it so far. Had it checked it out and other than some minor wear on the top and a bit of a broken A/C display, everything is mint. Anyone know where I can pick up a replacement A/C display?

turbo twist ( or Turbo I sometimes ), probably 18"?
great colors, but i'm partial to black anyway. as far as the AC display let me know when you find one. mine just started going on the fritz ( the left side and middle lines of the second number has gone out, so 74 looks like 71 )

and don't forget to add removing the bumper and painting the front air grills. totally makes a huge difference.

Those wheels are some of my favorite for the 986. Have fun with it, and practice makes perfect when it comes to shifting. So you will just need to drive alot. Tony's dead on with the front grill work. Get those babies painted.
