i like it! actualy i like part of it, the rear arches and the side skirt except where it meets the front guard. i think to make it work you will also need to change the front end as well. definitely no to the cheese grater things.

alternatively simply loose the side rubbing strips and the rear spoiler and have a very clean looking car.

I think there is the basis for a nice looking body kit there. The Teste stuff doesn't work but the rest could be shaped into something really nice. Spend a little more time searching out what might be available in ground affects and body kits and you might come up with a killer combination.

One thing you should know. If you complete the work of a nice body package, a good paint job and a great set of wheels and then post a picture on this board you will probably get 10/1 or 15/1 positive responses. That's just who we are. We don't have a lot of imagination, but we know what we like.

Nope, don't like it. I have come across some kits that I thought looked really good, does anyone have any photos of body kits for the 928 that they do like?

I voted yes.

It took me several hours of thinking it over. It's a hard call, because the clean 928 shape is just so good.

However: I think that this bodykit is more rare than the car, and knowing it's place in history is deserving of being saved too. It was meant to turn a classic smooth 928 into a more wicked '80s exotic machine.

I say do it - but you had better add super-wide and period-correct custom wheels also!
