Maybe bigger nostrils.
Gav, have you tried fitting Hella FF50 lights in the nose. The driving lights throw out a nice concentrated beam. Pair that with a set of Hella FF50 fogs to complete the oval light theme.
Possible to curve the front of the side skirt forward to make the front wheelarch less square?

The gills are a very nice touch.

Where's my checkbook?? I love it. Needs the rear spoiler to balance, something curvy like the J-mond IMO. Would look killer with a two tone paint job, dark blur top and light grey bottom. Then it would truly look shark like. I like how you kept the line of the OB front bumber.
Hypothetically, where would one find $$ and availability info on this kit?

I agree on all the side skirts comments....
I LOVE the look from the back.
How much fabrication is required to blend to the stock car? Cracking old body kits just seem inevitable and disgusting on any car let alone a 928. I guess it depends on your bodyshop's talents.
The front looks silly with all the little foglights and the open mouth part of your front spoiler, is overdoing the whole shark theme! I say keep the widebody "look" and compliment it with a subtle (but somwhat aggressive) front spoiler and subtle side skirts, similar to this although I know its a Benz 560SEC:

Tasteful - notice it is a widebody but a tasteful and tough looking front spoiler and side skirts:

I have worked alot in body shops and done lots of fiberglass, bondo and painting work so I tip my hat off to you as I know the work required to produce such an effort.

Beautiful work.
I like the O.B. styling of the rear end, but I also think the rear flares are a little too wide, especially when viewed from the rear, or at least in that picture.
Love the rockers, the gills, the lower part of the front, the front flares, the rear flares (from the side and front view).
The only other critique is with the front piece where the oval lights are located, which looks a little too flat to me.

I like the fenders and the simple rear look. Needs a big spoiler and some mods to the side skirt, maybe ala aero 996 look. Photoshop masters? Where ya'll at? Set it up with a 996tt front facia and post some pics :-).

Unfair of me to diss without explaining my POV. I feel the front opening is too big and sits to low and the length of the front cap makes the car awkward. The three little lights are too busy and the sharp line on the side skirt does't match any other line on the car. Rear fenders are too wide and need to be blended into the taillights more. The gills actually work for me as does the clean look of the rear cap. I admire the work but the overall effect looks to kit for me. Just my opinion...

Here's what I know:
I truly admire anyone who has the type of creative talent. I wish I had a 1/10th of that skill. So awesome job!
Overall, i really like it. It looks like it has the same quality of the jacquemond kits. It looks clean and professional. It has an agressive look of which I like. As far as shaving this or that, I can't tell, not my speciality. I do agree with Jim, that blending the rear seams would be bad if you had an accident. That would be a pain to repair. The gills kind of remind me of the the bmw z4 look.
I like the headlights, even if purely for the technology and bette lighting aspect. I also like how your kit keept sthe pop-up lights in tact.
Can you post more pics of a straight on rear shot?
Overall, I would buy it.

Im sorry... its not doing it for me.. I wasn't going to post but that wouldn't be fare to you.
I like the front fenders, the rear flairs are too much for my likes. and that front bumper cover is like Ruff 911 meets kit car with those little lights in the front. Again sorry for the negitive feedback.. But only true friends are honest

Yeah, I hope I didn't come off as an an asshat...not my intention. I to admire those that do! My favorite one off is still Fat Bully....clean and mean. If you haven't seen it do a search for it. Worht a look or two, or even three.
