Yah, that is the French outfit, Jack-o-Lantern, or something like that. They also have a station wagon conversion for the 944. LOL!

You need to do something about those headlights or not drive it at night. Bigger lights or a real HID system for a grand or so, but they are a problem. You got to decide if you want a style statement or a real car.

Acura Integra headlights would fit in there, and they are real, non HID lights.

There is a place in Cali called "Bad Boyz" I think that does 911 Strosek conversions. Try a search on the net. Post your results.

Ok, tabor. You ever think more than 1 step ahead? How many headlights does an Integra have stock? How many do you see in the Strosek picture? How many people do you hear that think Acura low beam headlamps are great?

I think it looks pretty cool. Except for the lights, they suck bigtime. Is it a widening kit? I definitly like the splitter thingy on the front, not so sure about the pieces on the side. It would be cool if I knew what the pieces were called so I didn't sound retarded.

2 per side, I know, I would make the header panel myself.

1 per side, it doesn't matter to me.

Don't know, I have never noticed a problem riding in them at night.

I don't like that looks and heres why:

The headlight openings look out of place, the line very evident in the uppder fender does not follow through the strosek front trim piece, which looks out of place.
Although a stock 944 with 16" wheels has a bit of space between the top of the wheel and the visuble rear fender and upgrade of this sort should close that gap. Personally I dislike it when wheels don't ride a little inside of the upper fender. In a less specific opinion the car looks too busy with all the added cladding.

One thing I do like is the trim piece underneath the door. Nasty wheels

Thats my 2cents.
