HRE Wheels that are worth more than most 944's, same goes for the chameleon paint.
Assuming the engine conversion is a good one, the only complaint would be the color of the interior, which isn't even that bad.

Obviously taste is a personal decision...It seems (to me) like all the money was spent on the wrong things. 80's Porsche design had a minimalistic elegance...this just reeks of ghettolicious. If it had a white **** dash, dice and hydraulics...maybe flames, it might be funny. Would I drive it...no. Two worlds that should never intersect...German minimalism/precision and American street decadence/glam. My avatar is as close as it should ever be....Ha.

The hood scoop is meh. and the paint is nice... just don't like it much on the 944. but the v8 swap is niffty, and the side exhaust doesn't seem too bad. lots of money into the car no doubt.

i wouldnt do it to my car at all... too wild. but it's someone else's car and its unique, so i think its pretty sick. plus i wouldnt mind initiating that nitrous boost on a test drive.

I always thought it was funny how so many people here rip on other peoples cars, when a lot of the time they are nicer then most peoples here cars.

Depends on what your criteria for "nice" is...Some think a fish tank with neon lights in the living room is a great look. Some like the lines of Frank Lloyd Wright...

To each their own...If it makes them happy, more power to them.

Yep, considering many people on here have cars that are held together with duct tape, skateboard bearings, and other misc parts from Home Depot. Maybe this car would be better liked if it had misc bits of trash in the interior and a paint brush/roller paintjob?

Blechh! The only thing I like are the wheels. Old school Deeeep dish. Fun to keep clean though. The rest of it is just wrong. That paint is gross. Put all that stuff on some old Trans Am. Leave it off the Porsche.
