Let me know what you come up for a tow hitch concept, as I might have you fabricate 2
Hi Petza914, I did buy it from Kevin and had it shipped back to Calif. I purchased a hitch and will try to start on it in a week or 2. I'll let you know what my thoughts are on design and also get your input and ideas on it as well.
Thanks, Jim
Not sure what's 958'y about it... The 958 has a pointy nose whereas the Misha front is more squared off and lower than even a regular 957. 958 has a rounded rear hatch with teardrop taillights whereas both the regular 957 and the Misha rear have a flatter tailgate. The Misha kit takes the masculine aggressive look of the 957 and makes it more so.
I bought my 957 after deciding it would receive the Misha treatment once acquired l. The only thing I see that resembles the 958 is the angle of the front bumper openings and that were using 958 front turn signal assemblies. I've wired the white LEDs in these to be DRLs.
OP here are pictures of yours right after it was built. Note, it doesn't have the graphics yet and is still wearing the OEM 21" wheels, which get dwarfed by the larger bodywork. I'm putting 22"x12"s on mine with 315/30 tires.
Here it is finished with the DPE wheels and Misha graphics for SEMA.
Odd that you missed the similarity of the front center grill to a 958 turbo/gts grille, the intercooler grilles, and the lack of the stainless on the top of the rear bumper surface - plus the general shape of the rear bumper.
But if you don't want it to appear 958'y - more power to'ya..
I feel it's more of a fictional race look, than a bunch of overly exaggerated bunch of spoilers, vents and flares, like euro kits appear to be. Misha design is diffidently a eye catcher. People that don't really know about Cayennes think it's a new model release.
Again, like the kit, but no way I'd pull a Stuttgart badge and replace it with a Misha or any other badge on the hood. And another thing, from afar that looks very similar to Honda's logo. Just sayin.
I've de-badged it for now. I also differently paid a premium for a few reasons. The previous owner purchased it last year in July, than sank 8k+ into it on maintenance, stereo, gps and more. In turn he would not bargain much in the process. I could have purchased a newer one for what I paid but, I wanted something different that the run of the mill Cayanne.
I just received a trailer hitch. I'll post some progress information on what it took to modify in order to accommodate the rear valance. After that it's off to the body shop for some corrections.
Interested in the tow hitch. I just have a stock GTS bumper but trying to find a cleaner way to mount a tow hitch since it wasn't there stock :-p
Btw, I love my 957 GTS don't see myself selling and currently sitting at 120k miles right now hopefully hit 250k+. If you have driven an RS4 it basically feels like a slower and heavier b7 rs4 but raised up. It does surprise me sometimes what it can do handling wise even compared to the newer cayennes and other sport utes.
I'm just trying to find a way to upgrade the display and camera to a newer Porsche or aftermarket setup as even new this thing was archaic! Everything else is still functional, sporty and luxury enough.
Is that a stock color, a respray, or a wrap? Pretty sick looking ride--congrats. I'm partial to white, having owned an Ibis white Audi, am Alpine White 335i, and my current Alpine White M3. I wouldn't black it out though, as others have suggested. It looks great the way it is!
