the car, which is within a centimeter of the original length. But the new headlights sure make look a lot looooonger.

I Have to agree with Nicole about the wheel openings. Making them round adds a lot of bulk to the car. The man is talented but could have used some input on some of the details. I always try to understand someone elses point of view on such things since personal taste is just that, personal.
I truly believe the Porsche stylists got the shape of the 928 right from the very beginning and I like the changes along the way. And from what I've seen it is very difficult to add to this shape without taking away from it in the process.

I'd bet there's a forum somewhere having a discussion about how great this car looks.. Beauty is in the eye of someone else on this one.
I only like the mirrors however I can relate to how much work that is because I had nothing but problems with my Jacquemond conversion.

With a J-mond front with stock headlights, on the photo shop (Cleaned up) version I would say WOW. I really like the rear end and rear windows. Spoiler is a bit too much for me. I actually like the louvers.
Does look like a Tiberon in the front, or as said before, a Supra. Looks like high quality work, but just a tad ovr the top for me. And that says a lot since I have no taste.

i love my 79! its so classic and to me just the epitome of the 928 with phone dials, pascha and the early style rear end. the moment you remove the rub strips on a 928 the shape comes completely alive, and so many elements of the original design work together so well - especialy the shapes of the doors and the windows and the wheel arches. its such a classic and so useable, one day this car may even warrant restoration

Ha ha,
ok I got it, have seen it but not so many times.
Actually Xzibit must have moved to Faroe Islands, because that's where the builder lives.
Pictures where taken in Stockholm though so he must bee on visit in Sweden.
