Sorry, but the 928 came out in '87 with the same replacement parts for the last 20 years. Porsche always uses the first three numbers to designate the original model the part was designed for. If a part is "general", like a nut or bolt, originally created for several different models, then it usually has a 900 at the beginning of the part number or another number that is not a Porsche model number.

Having 928 parts on the Box is a plus. It's a much more powerful, faster car that started at over $60K in the '80s. Be happy, our boots were made for a V8 powerhouse that was perfectly balanced and is now on the flat 6, perfectly balanced Porsche of today.
