Get rid of the gills and it would be OK.

"it will turn some heads a track days" - Yes, and will be accompanied by people saying ""Look at that jackass."

And these guys have been Racing for over 20 years, not talking about it, not playing at it, actually racing, they are also the MOST helpful guys on the Porsche scene. I'm going to defend these guys because when I was building my race car they actually knew the answers, not quoted fromt eh handbook, but just know, they knew what rear end to use, which gears to put in what box and what the result would be. Not it may not be to everyone's (or anyones) taste but then again they only built it for themselves, if you saw there GTS conversions, or there 968 conversions that look bang on the mark for not a lot of money you would all coo and want one, but they also cater for a different market, amd that market pays there bill and puts carbon seats in there race cars. And who else would pull out the stops on Sunday morning to deliver the rubber disc that failed on you Saturday night, getting you back on the road for work monday morning for less that 300 Pounds ($450). These are in fact the good guys, however this latest creation has actually been built for a race track, it's going to be out there when MOST of you will be watching. And if the spoiler is not effective then it will be removed I'm sure, however if you are in such a position to lecture them on the relitave forces of aerodynamics then give them a call. I'll be personally forwarding your comments on to them so if future they get any inquires for parts they know exactly how to respond. Please note they also built the fiberglass body shell themselves, no brought parts, all in house and lighter than most of your ego's.
