"Euro turbo style" - my ***. It's got US bumpers so it's as American as a Porsche ever can be...

And what's with this euro look thing?

I was wondering the same thing, if it is, 2G's is worth it almost just for the top. Well, not realy, but sure would like to have a saratoga top.

I actually like the hood/headlight scheme, just not the colors used. And I never did care much for that style of rear valence.

Hmm maybe the euro comes from the rear valance and the turbo from the center light panel. As for the sunroof, it looks as if it were simply painted black.

No accidents if any kind! Except the one you plainly see in the photograph.

YES!!! That's what I've been missing, a "sexy girl" sticker for my car!!!

That car is hideous, the colour scheme is atrocious, and the rear euro valence does not suit these cars IMO...just doesn't suit the lines, the slotted holes look weird.
I'd like to see how people react when he shows up to a PCA meeting in that thing...they'd probably stone it...

Never wrecked my ***. I bet it had a front end collision that ruined the front bumper and one or two of the h/l covers. So he found a donor car in maroon, took the bumper and h/l covers, and the sunroof while he was at it. Then painted the stripes up the hood to make it all "blend".

<rant_on>

"Turbo look"?? What a bunch of shi-tolla. I wish people would quit mis-representing their crap that they have for sale. A bunch of shiddy bolt on plastic and some gawd-awful uglyazz racing stripes does not constitute a "turbo-look".
The sad thing is that there are a ton of bids for this thing. If it sells for a good amount, I'm buying some crap n/a and bolting some pep-boys crap on it, get some crappy vinyl stripes and put them on offcenter on the drivers side, and sell it on ebay for a profit. I may have found a new way to make some cash part-time. Cool.
