"Fugly" is the word.
+1. Sheesh, those are bad. I wonder if the owner has an all-hydraulic suspension kit to "hop" down Main Street?

Off to Al Reed for hand painted crest!
Can't say it would help much.

Hydraulic suspension for hopping. LOL.

Homeboy Pearl, that's funny.

I think we're gettin somewhere with this.

I can picture these on, say, a Cayenne that's been either monster truck-ified with big knobbulous off roadies on it, or, alternately, lowered down to about an inch off the pavement. Making it a sports car trying to be a truck immitating a sports car.

The look would be complete with skunk nuts adorning all windows and, lest we not forget, the genre mandated fuzzy dice.

Alternately: take the Turbo pictured: tint all windows in double limo black, paint the car gold-sparkle-gecko; install super-Bump/Thump triple woofers in the air inlets (afore of the rear wheels) facing OUT so the "thumpa-thumpa" blows up skirts ... now you've got a street rod home-boy sled, sucka.

Oh, I love it when the bass can be heard better outside than inside the car....And, you know what a "good" stereo it is when you can't identify what possible instrument it was that is "reproduced"!

Hey, I have a couple nominations for the license plate:

I actually like these rims. Yeah, there is a bit of chrome to clean, but without spokes or holes, it would be easy to keep the brake dust off. Those look like 18" rims which are not out of place on our cars.

Has anyone seen these for sale anywhere? I'd be curious to see how much. They might look good on my 964 since I only show that car anyway.

Maybe with a little tinkering, they can be modded to a two-piece rig where the crest can be weighted so it stands still, while the rest of the wheel rotates-- it could be like those cheesy advertisement hub cap things you sometimes see on taxi cabs. It's like fromage meets surrealism to see that on a car in motion.

Jay! Man, what can I say. Call the office tomorrow morning, and I'll fit you in for a phone session, asap. My website can be found at www.DrCrowhurst.com.

It'll be a freebie, and we'll keep it confidential.

That's a pretty good idea. The crest could always be pointed correctly so people would know what you're driving.
