Default Anyone recognize this very unique body kit?

Currently for sale in AZ (http://www.cactusclassics.com/1983Porsche928S.html

I like the way they incorporated the rub strips into the body kit.





LOVE the interior (except for the crest in the door inserts)!

^^ This dark one looks like [possibly modified] Gemballa rear with Jacquemond front to me.

The white one is also based on a Gemballa kit.

this car was discussed in another thread about 3 months ago. I think some one did say what kit it is.

It's Gemballa with custom headlights, I guess.
E: and I also kinda like how it looks.

They might be Supra headlights.

Actually, I quite like the headlights. The shark looks beautifull when the lights are down, but when they're up it messes up the beautifull lines to my opinion. Since I live in a country where we all drive with the headlights constantly switched on, I prefer to have blended in lights like this custom one.

Does anybody know of other changed headlights? Pictures? Aftermarket brands?

Looks like the dash and pod have a plastic cap over them. That tells me they were warped or cracked.

If the owner is lucky he will have a fuel line failure.
