Like the look. Very Sharkey.
The front spoiler does 'look' a little deep and susceptible to damage.
Maybe a pair of Carl Fausett (928motorsports) front spoiler bash bars will be enough
to keep a great body kit whole.


Keep up the good work.
Now NO ONE will know what sort of car that is.

I like twisting things. I LOVE YOUR TWIST....GREAT JOB ....a small spoiler, not the regular size might do,.........i think.

Gav,
Very nice. gives the 928 an updated edgey look. The rear end even favors the 996 without the spoiler.

I like it, but add an optional rear spoiler that has some "sharkfins" for the vertical supports and I think it will finish the car off. Don't go too sharky with it, keep with your half machine-half shark look you have now on the rear spoiler and I think you will have a winner.

A real shark has a vertical fin and horizontal fin in the rearmost area of his body for changing lateral and vertical direction.

We still need to see front and rear views.

Is there going to be some diffusor at the bottom of the rear bumper cover? If you do that cleverly, you might only need a small lip like on the Aston Martin V8, rather than a full rear spoiler. But leaving the rear untreated would be a mistake.

In the front, make sure there are mounting points for the belly pan.

Sweet. You need to become a Rennlist sponsor and go into production.

I'll go against the stream, a bit, I guess... Lots of good details, but the overall impression still come up a bit short IMO.

I find both the rear and the front to be too "boxy" - makes the lower part of the car look not entirely unlike a brick. Maybe round off the rear a bit and loose the "scoop" in the front.

... And the gills I could do without. Too busy, has no purpose, breaks an otherwise beautifull line, and will be really annoying when washing/waxing the car.

Generally (And this is my completely subjective opinion), when you come to the point where you can only refine a design by adding details, it's time to start over.

(Hope this came across as positive criticism, not bashing )

Another thing: Is that the turn signal all the way out in the front? I don't think that'll pass insepction, at least in Europe.

I would've put them in the side mirrors. (And if you do that, can I please order a set )

I like it a lot! I agree with the others that the front air dam appears to low and will be more of a curb crasher than we already have. Would like to see more views.
