Your color combo will work nicely. : ) I did leave something out of the itimized list, and they're not cheap:

The fatter wheel arches. They are $80 each (each fender), new (I think). These are not always included in panel sets. = $320 new. used, they could be had for maybe $150 for the set.


85-86 (& the 4 produced in 1984!) have the panels that fit the old style bumpers

1987 panels fit the newer style bumpers only, BUT they do not accomodate the fatter wheel arches (from 88 - 91)

1988-1991 panels will fit from 87-93 & 94 convertibles. They will fit on the 87s, but the wheel arches would have to be replaced.

As far as finding a site sponsor with a set, good luck! If they have 'em, they go quickly. I have contacts all over the place for panels, but I get calls from them maybe twice per year (when they have 'em). My brother and I have a few incomplete sets right now (missing a bumper extension or two) and one complete set that is spoken for (sorry). Bro is Viking Automotive, BTW.

Wheels are pretty easy to find. Eric and I have a few sets right now. Springs... got a few sets of those, too.

The springs are one of the few performance issues associated with the SPG. The panels and wheels were designed to reduce drag from the sides of the car... not sure if they actually do that or not. 1990-1991 SPGs received Mitsubishi turbochargers, which have a smaller turbine but a faster spool up than the Garrett.
