Sick car man. 
I would keep mine stock, but it was not trashed when I got it. Not to mention the fact that I do not have the talent to do such a conversion. Maybe being flamed her is just a way for others to question you, but it is your car and you should not go their way anyhow. Keep up the great work. 
I did notice that you seem to have a talent for this, any other projects on the board when you get the 944 done?

I have been following you car from the beginning and have to admit, that your modifaction project is the best I have see since 1997. (thats when I first found this List).
You have my nomination for Project Of The Year
John D, what do you think?

Not too much I can add that hasn't already been said. While the styling isn't really my thing, I commend the quality of the work that you are putting in to it. No matter what, I will always respect a job done right.

Unbelievable work put into that car. I love the color and the tail lights. Great job man, its great to see someone do something truly innovative with their 944. I'm not a huge fan of the headlights (makes the car looks too Japanese or American) but overall your car is phenomenal. Be sure to post more pics soon!

I have 1 word to say: "DAYUM!" 
Like most other people on here, I must say, It's not my cuppa tea, BUT your workmanship is INCREDIBLE! It looks damn cool. Those headlights, IMHO, from far away, look kinda wierd, but up close, it looks like it's gonna kick some ***.
I must say, I think it does in fact look like a quality body kit, but you have the satisfaction to call it your own. Good job.
One thing that suprised me though, with all the bling on the car, What's with the 2.5L remaining all plain lookin? you should paint the cam tower orange to match the car...

Riplin.........incredible.......incredible! Every compliment given here to you, regarding what your your doing with this car, and how your doing it, and your imagination and drive to do this, I want to offer to you 10 fold over again! I am completely happy for you...........and must admit, I'm kinda jealous!
I would love to have the opportunity to do something like this! Have a BALL!
I'm dying to see the final finished project pictures!

Nice work, but I hope those wheels are not 18's!
The reason I say this is because there have been numerous instances where the front control arms failed because the car was lowered and the wheels were larger than 17".
Because of the changes to the suspension geometry, Porsche does not recommend using 18" wheels.
However, you may want to talk to Markus at http://www.blaszakprecision.com/, or you can post to the 924/44/68 e-mail list.

I'm in the minority with Fishey; I happen to really like the hatch. It reminds of of an Esprit. The frontend and taillights aren't my thing, but I respect the work you put into them and the skill you posses.

Wow. I'm kind of at a loss for words. I just hope all those giving a thumbs up will no longer laugh at Honduhs with body kits.
A track/race car would absolutely have been a more fitting destiny for this car. Hell, that's what Porschces are supposed to be fore.
And I agree with Matt H. I too know a ugly chick when I see one.
I guess I'll get flamed now. No problem. I have Nomex.
Oh yeah, I don't see anything I would call "tuning" in those photos.
