Wow...that's bright! The front end reminds me of the 944 GTR.

Hmmm... replace the hatch, open up the side windows and paint it black, it would look pretty cool!

Paint it a better color and it does look kinda cool... Its not really THAT riced out, and the body work looks nicely done.. Its obviously a SHOW car, and show cars are usually a little over the top.

Different strokes for different folks.

That color, is like that sour bubble gum. That's all I can think about when looking at a car that color.

It would look fine if they changed the color and gave it real headlights. If you can fab your own sheet metal like that, you can change the headlights.

While the modifications are quite over the top the work looks very well done. So many 944s are subject to hack modifications of all kinds, I would rather see someone do this to a 944 than see another rust bucket on the side of the street looking like it hadn't been washed in years. Or see another one like I saw the other day for sale: 4 bald corded tires, a windshield with 1/2 gaps letting water flow in, ditto for the hatch, huge dents on the hood, 10 years on the same timing belt, no history of any major repairs, blow suspension, etc (still was asking 2500).

now i think i got something better( better as being worse) i happened to come across this while looking for an S2 Cab. its not as bad as the 928 "cargo van" i saw, but i cant find it, so this will have to do for now.
