Post Wow - 88 951 Turbo S Wide Body

I really don't know what to think about this 951:

no. nonononononononono. As much as I'd want to like it, I just can't. It's a Porsche, not a fish. I like the color and the front end and everything besides those friggin gills... I'm not all for the hatch although it's done nicely on that car. oh well. everything else is badass.

I think everything except the 'gills' and the overall style of the hatch looks good. The hatch looks way too Del Sol for me.

Yeah, the hatch treatment would look better without the 2nd (upper) spoiler....

I like... I just don't like the price. If it was a rear engine car then I'd like the gills. Overall though beautiful car.

Just foul. I might have thought about a wide body kit if my car were wrecked and I had a choice as to what to next. It might look great without the nasty hatch and the freeky vents on the side. The wide body kit MIGHT look great with the factory hatch, 968 turbo S spoiler and some speedlines. Those wheels scream walmart.

Personally I thing the hatch makes it look like an older MR-2. But for some reason I don't think it looks bad, different, but bad. Hell, that's probably because I just got off work and anything looks good now...

Brilliant man "Jacquemond" but some of his work is just pushed to far... don't you think?

I like what he did with the 928 and the 240 SX

Someone must have tried to make the car cooler but made it heavier(wider) and slower and made the luggage compartment useless.
