That looks like the Monterey kit. I remember there was an artilce in VW & Porsche with the car. But it looked a lot nicer than that car.

Is the bonnet partially open, or does it just not fit well?

hmm...I like it. Probably one of the best looking 914's I've seen. Only real problem I see is that the hood doesn't look quite aligned right.

No, no, no you people have it ALL wrong. That is THE boxster prototype. I mean just LOOK at it, those curves, those swooping lines. That trick hydraulic lifted deck lid. It is afterall a mid engine V-6. By the way the hood is NOT partially open, that my friends it the air intake for both the additional oil cooler and the front brakes.

Man can't you people tell a work of rice..I mean art when you see it?

What happened to the rear quarter in front of the wheel?

Was it attacked by Photoshop?

I actually like it, a little more work and it would be really nice. Something tells me that it probably was not a fine example to begin with, so it wasn't maybe as big of a crime as it may seem to some.

They did do a pretty good job on it. I like the 911 style dash. They could have put a horn button on the steering wheel though.
