Mine\u2019s a \u201895 in midnight blue with classic grey interior and also wears RS front splitters and RS tail as well as Kinesis K27s, but with the centers painted gold. Definitely has presence and always gets comments!\n\n@PoorscheMan, @windupman - Just went and looked at mine and can confirm my seam sealer looks like this. Up by the shock towers the final paint covers the sealer. Once you get to the crash structure bars it\u2019s about half covered where the paint spray dusted it and into the spare tire and battery area, the sealer is similar to this color and mostly unpainted. All the seam sealer is applied in a similar way - brushed in some areas and applied with a gun in others. 993\u2019s were much more of a hand-made process than current cars so some variability is to be expected. That said, always worth due diligence. IMO, for a car that\u2019s 25 years old and driver quality, the pricing impact of minor damage and proper repairs is negligible.\n\n@poorscheman and @flyfaster - Concur those are RS front splitters and what looks like the Aerokit 1b side skirts (I think . . . there was Aerokit 1 and 2 and can\u2019t recall exactly). Of course, could be aftermarket replicas. I didn\u2019t put the RS side skirts on mine as they were known for breaking the tabs and at the time (early 00\u2019s) there were some people working on carbon fiber improved versions. Don\u2019t think those ever came to fruition but still something I\u2019d like to address with mine. BTW, the Rennlist 993 archives are an absolute wealth of information!\n\n@MPM97turbo, @speedneeder - Concur with MPM. My \u201895 993 has ~45k miles on it. For my first 3 years of ownership it was my daily and I put 15k miles on it. The subsequent ~18 years I\u2019ve added 10K miles so it\u2019s been stored a lot. I\u2019m currently in NY and so it doesn\u2019t venture outside for at least 6 mos each year. Never had any problems with engine or other seals aging, cracking or otherwise deteriorating. Materials on this car are incredible. Never drops a single drop of oil. The only age related issue I had was this year when the shift rod bushes deteriorated. I replaced with full RS/golden rod short-shifter kit.\n\n@brb, @poorscheman, @enthusiastspec - These are K27 as enthusiast noted. My centers are gold, which works really well, and the outers are raw aluminum, which shines up well. These are 3-piece wheels and Kinesis made a range of inner out outer rim sections so not sure the width of these but mine are 8s and 10s. I put the ROW M030 sport suspension on my 993, which lowered it from US spec, as well as mine wear Michelin Pilot Sports 235/40-18 fronts and 275/35-18 rears. (I like that rear size better than the previous 285/30 for the extra side wall height and I would get a tiny rub under the right circumstances.) Anyway, my wheel wells look pretty stuffed.\n\nGood luck to @wob and buyers . . . the 993 is a brilliant, analog car and is an experience that is tough to beat in all the right ways!", "likes": 3, "timestamp": 1636054909, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 7230284, "authorName": "bpat", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/bpat/", "bidAmount": 93000, "content": "$93,000 bid placed by bpat", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1636055580, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 7230958, "authorName": "Cy993", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/cy993/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@speedneeder, @mpm97turbo - Forgot to mention the wiring harness.

Mine had this issue only when the car was parked, locked and got wet.
