I prefer to think of the lights as "retro" rather than dated.

I agree with Paul, it would have been WAY cheaper, there is NOTHING left of a GTS in that car and you could have saved more than HALF by starting with an S4 and ending up in exactly the same place you are going... I wish I had money to burn...hell, I just wish I had money to paint the EURO85, forget about burning it...

Seriously Tony the work that is getting done looks first rate, but man, I really would have loved to have seen this done to an S4 instead of a GTS... That said, I can't wait to see what it looks like and runs like when it is all done! Gonna be CRAZY!

No way! My little girls would kill me. They love the lights. They laugh everytime I put them up and down, and up and down, and up and down.

I have only had a couple of light comments. And the best was a month ago in the '84... It was night so the lights were on and I was at stop light and a guy and his girl in a truck pull up next to me and roll the window down. "Hey, those lights are cool..." So I turned them off and they rolled back. They FREAKED OUT!! They thought that was THE BOMB!!!

That said, I do like that frenched in Strosek lights...I always thought those were pretty cool...

I love it. It looks great with the giant wing.

I'm moving to Jersey and getting a tan.

I was asked by a woman once during the day; "How can you see anything at night with the lights pointing up at the sky?"

You would NEVER see a Miura with changed headlights, ever!

I thought I started a Pole but apparently it did not take. It really was just supposed to be a fun "Yes" or "No" Graph, that's it. T

I think you need something there to break up all the mass of the hood and tops of the fenders. Round lighting is iconic porsche and I wouldnt change that, but I would love to alter the round lamps themselves and the 993 lights always seemed more interesting than the 928 lamps
This is not 993, but will give you a general idea of how it might look:

I can try and find more pics of it if you're interested.
