THATS HIDEOUS!! I think he has the Fiberworks front end too. I don't care for any of it but the color and wheels.

GT racing maybe? I had seen it at some site, and it's been mentioned before. it comes in black like the ones we have. Someone here has it on theirs. When left black, it looks pretty nice on cars with some deep wheels and such.

Scientifically designed to help impede rearward visibility and prevent rainwater from spilling out of the edges under forward or lateral acceleration, allowing for greater volume of water flowing out of the drain slots.

More water weight = better traction on the strip though.

Similar to how I block up the drain hole for the sunroof drains in the rear wheel wells for a few weeks before I drag race my friends...

That car looks like rotten butt. It looks like the owner wished he had purchased a Conquest TSi and decided to transform his 944 into some sort of fuzzily contrived facsimile.

When you get superfluously eloquent like that, I've come to learn it means your jealous.
