look at various body kits if you want at places like phastek, I think its a seibon with the carbon fiber hood.... If you look here on the forums parts may be available from people who have upgraded to the zl1 or aftermarket rockers... You just have to look to the forums marketplace. Good luck.

If you have the space, time, tools and money, (and the nerve), it can be done. Definitely check out the parts and vendor section. Lots of parts and know how here. Start a log in the build section. I think a lot of folks would like to see that one brought back to life. Good Luck.

Hurst short throw shifter.

Wheels are stock and look plastidipped.

The body kit is the worrisome bit, to me. Looking at the gas filler door, it looks like it's recessed into the after market panel / fender flare, which indicates, to me, that when you pull it off there will be some paint necessary.

Got any under hood pics?

Good luck regardless. I knew someone in high school who spent most of his time getting a 928S4 back to nearly showroom after he bought it on a salvage title. He still has that car, and it still runs great.

You've got a lot of work ahead of you, but the end result could be pretty rewarding.
Thank you for the positive motivation, you rock. I'm going to try my best to get this back to factory. Car runs great, has low mileage 40k and I like the car. I'm becoming attached to this car. I really don't like the body kit, but i'm getting use to it. Maybe I will do the upgrade to a zl1, I don't know.

But thank you everyone for all the input. Keep them coming.
