i like the flared wheels.

and despite that 19" and 20" wheels are not quite right for our cars, i like the 997 wheels.

not crazy about the headlights.

and also the front valance not so much.


but the lower section of the tail really looks horrible.

That body kit on that white one looks like it was a body kit for a 350Z, molded to fit the 944. I personally think that one looks alright for something so far out there.

not sure if you meant them to be but im not sure that the wreck photo with the tree is really a 944... and the last wreck photos definitely aren't a Porsche of any kind...

and i kind of like the white one with the flared arches...

something i just noticed....the top of the windshield appears to be the "late 944" style where it is smooth, not the 924/early 944 style with a "step"...

According to 924board it is an easy swap. A member here has done it as well.

this is stock on the 937 series. even the road-going carrera gt and gts had the late 944 style front windscreen while the production 924 and early 944 had the 'stepped' type. it is one of the easiest ways to spot the difference between a good CGT replica and a real one. (besides the VIN). As thirdgenbird says, you can update from early to late but not that many people go to that kind of effort.

That thing looks like the fast and the furious teamed up with an old lambo and autozone, and raped a cab....

I didn't know there still were people putting that kind of money into styling 944's :-)
Really made to look the supercar part :-)
