I was checking out ebay and found this:

It's kinda interesting, I like the front bumper,dunno about the rear though.

 

Holy stir fry batman!?!? are those dual exhaust pipes?
with a $4-6k blue book, and sales often half that.......Im wondering what speculative fantasy has him at $7k start bid $10k buy now??? Must be the HP increase from the bodykit and dual exhaust hehe

 

I dislike any kind of add on body kit.
But I am glad to see someone at least trying to get some money for these cars.You say he is in a "speculative fantasy" for even thinking a low mileage 944 might be worth $7000 and" sales indicate half of the 4-$6000 blue book."
Do we as owners really want to keep putting money into maintaining these cars when we as a group only think they are worth 2 or $3000 bucks?
What kind of car enthusiast does that make us when a beat to crap civic has more value than WE place on our own cars.
I hope he sells it.(but not to me)

 

I like the duel exhaust but kind of looks like RX7 rear duels.

 

its not for me for sure but why do all that work on an early 944 to make it look more modern?

 

Seeing as most people like to install short shifter kits, it looks like he wanted to be different and went in the opposite direction.

 

i like the front end, very cool. kind of has a FC RX7 look to it, no problem there.

back is a little low, and im curious about the dual exhaust. but overall the car looks in good shape.

 

I'm curious how he did that front end. I don't see any joints between the center crest panel and the bumper -- so did he 'glass a new front valance on? I don't see a seam/joint to the fenders, either. I suspect a generous slathering of bondo... It also appears the driver's side of the valance (near the opening) is not aligned with the passenger side -- floppy?

I've seen worse!

(V2 -- clever signature, I thought for a moment you hit the lottery!)

 

Ya the whole thing would have to be fiberglass or he would have to use a structual adhesive and then do the rest of the work. Simple method would be a fiberglass front, fiberglass header, and fiberglass fenders. Sand them and glass them together. Never used bondo or fiberglass alone to bond metal, fill bumper/panel seems or metal to fiberglass, looks good at first but over time will seperate and crack. A lot of ricer's make this mistake and mold they're fiberglass bumpers/skirts to metal and then it cracks and destroy's their new paint.

The front bumper isn't really that different from stock, the main thing he did was remove the metal bumper and then make a fiberglass copy. That's really the biggest difference, also the turn signals are larger i think and the opening is slightly different, but all in all would be very easy to replicate.

 

junk like this is why the values of our cars keep going down.
