If he would put the original front end back he would sell it.

Looks like high quality workmanship. The street rod customization just doesn't work well on a Porsche.

To each his own. Some people (clearly) hate the Kokeln front end. I like it, for one, but I do not like the mesh like he has it, or the color. I like race car style for heavily modded cars. Not really the "Lambo Luxury" angle.

It's like the "family truckster" version of my car I think.

His car, his tastes. But if you mod a car that much with your personal vision, you can't expect it to have resale value like that. I don't intend to ever sell mine, and if I did, I know I'd get soaked. I'd be the last person to critique a modded car!

I wouldn't call it "riced out" either, just different taste....

Anyone remember the "MOMO 944" posted a while ago? Now that was riced out, cannot find the thread......

Not my taste, however it appears well done and appears to be a nice car. I agree it really is not riced to the max, but does have some tuner flair.

Riced out isn't really bad. Heck one person said my last car looked like a riced out Del Sol... I shouldn't have knocked the personal tastes of the owner I guess. I will say he's got some quality stuff though.

Here's my riced out RX8. Well most of the parts were shipped from Japan so I guess it doesn't get any more riced out than that. LOL

Come to think about it...should be pretty fast too...that 968 engine in the early light 944 body...
If the front bumper would be oem or 951, oem steering wheel, i'd call that a nice car.

That car is down the street from my office and has been for sale for a very long time. It looks better in photos. It's positively hideous.

I dont see what the big fuss is. Change the wheels, colour match the bonnet, paint the rear spoiler black and you have yourself a very nice 944.

Personally I don't think its that bad... Kit is the same on the lindsey racing car. I think the worst part is the painted rear wing and maybe the color match on the wheels.
