Looks great....just curious...what was the 'soup to nuts' cost and how long did it take to install?

good luck!

Rice. Don't take this as anything against you, but as my opinion.

Taboo,

Are you planning something to fill the front hole, like a finned cooler or something..?

Brake ducts for the side...?

Excellent job...BTW

Cheers

hmmmm, I can see where you are coming from, but I would have to disagree (my opinion though) I think this fiberwerks nose is very classy. The lines are less abstract and more functional. Rice panels, of course, are more abstract.



I really like it alot, and am considering one for my 951

I think it looks great, i like shauns pic better though. It looks empty from the side when you don't have anything their.

BTW, those rain guards are butt...no offense though.

Shaun's pic is acceptable in my book, along w/ the original. Yet I couldn't see one on my car, It kills that whole rounding on the front nose, makes the bottom lip extrude, and comes across as not to matching to the rest of the cars flowing lines into a rounded figure... Nice though, just saying why I wouldn't want it...

Don't listen to all these butt-holes.

Tabo, it looks EXCELLENT.

Make those side ducts functional and route at to cool the brakes like Skip from Paragon.

I really like it. Congrats and GOOD JOB.

Looks like a great job on the fit & finish, very clean.

My opinion re: front ends, etc. is this. I've never seen one that didn't stick out like a sore thumb. Even this one, it honestly looks like "a 944 with some weird thing on the front" I have yet to see a panel that does justice to the overall clean lines of the 944, or any other porsche, for that matter. Maybe one exists, but I have my doubts.

As far as this one goes, it looks way better than some of them I've seen, and I agree with the other folks, I like the look without the "brake vents" better. I also think shaun has a fetish for dark wheels. Phone dials look better stock

I think it looks good, if thats what you're goin for. Personally, I prefer the 951 nose, with a good splitter on the bottom. I'd also get some rims. Looks way better than the Coke-head Kokeln front end.

Anybody reminded of the gen2 rx7??
