Needs to be lowered about 3" (hopefully the suspension is unsettled) and although I wouldn't do it to my car it looks much better than most of the custom mods I've seen on Rennlist (not just the WTF? on ebay ones, but Rennlister cars)

I like the rear sidemarkers.
I can see a lot of work went into this. The changes to the front fenders with the relocated lighting, look OK to me. It looks like the wheel well lips were not only flared nicely, but reshaped in the front to match up more with the rears.
Be sure to take the key out of the rear hatch before you park it for the night. :-) I notice you got rid of all the other locks but that one.
The wheels are a serious update of the cookie cutters, but 20s in the rear...maybe it will grow on me.
The mirrors... it's a neat idea...up high more at eye level, but long neck and swivel base doesn't make them look integrated properly.
Anway, you knew you were going to get some grief. I don't feel right criticizing something that involved so much work and is a personal statement.
I do like the fender treatments, the smooth doors with no hardware, and the large wing. Perhaps with slightly subtler wheels and maybe a different high mirror setup I would go for it 100%. Like Loaded said, is it fast? :-)

Ok everybody,
step away from the crack pipe. That car is plain stupid. Period.
I would be afraid to drive it through downtown Miami. Let alone be seen in it.
This is the kind of BS that makes me question my R-list membership.

the mirrors also bother me. I would have sprung for the gts mirrors to update the look of the car. the wheels look nice, and I agree the car needs to be lowered! now you need to squeeze some big reds behind those wheels.
what about performance mods? plese tell me this car isnt all show and no go....

Front side lights are missing. Looking at the rear fender lip (pics 4) makes me wonder it the pics are digitally enhanced. Front bumper bring back memory of the supra 1988 kaminari??? body kit.

Maybe it's high because it hasn't settled yet from possibly being lifited?
Nice color and detail. It looks like it must have been a ton of work. I luv the 928s' headlight assembly so I would miss that. Luv the wheels tho

This is a tough group tonight. I can’t say I would go to this level, but the craftsmanship sure looks good. I’d say if you like it, then that’s all that matters.
IMHO this site isn’t about who knows more or who has the better idea or which car is better… to me it’s all about the fact that we are all 928 enthusiasts and that’s what draws us together. If one finds thoughts and tastes different from ones own repulsive, maybe their time would be better spent elsewhere. Me, I personally like this site because of the diverse opinions.
Cheers to all that love 928’s in whatever way, shape, or form!
