Like to see this from different angles and on a real car. Might work without the rub strips. T

I've seen at least one car here with that, years ago. There was a picture how it looked (looked good to me) when it was nearly new and then a few after it was side swiped and left at the back of a body shop.

It looks like somebody has made som moulds off a Gemballa kit. I have seen cars with this kit for years, so it is certainly not new.

Google pictures of porsche 928 Gemballa and you will find...

It's like trying to put OB spoiler/trim on an 87- body... Too much.

If you hate the looks of a stock 928 so much to bolt on this kit, buy something else.

I don't think there is anything wrong with some of the various accents offered to make it look a little more modern, like Carls rear diffuser and rocker flares. To me they look great with GTS flares. They don't try to change the whole design of the car, but compliment it.




It would be cleaner without the rest of the rubstrips though.

Looks like an "add-on" piece which looks aftermarket. Nothing modern about that Unless you want your 928 to look like it was assembled in Japan.

/nothing against Japanese cars, but they excel at bolting random parts on all over the car..........

Seeing more and more plastic stick on fake "Buick portholes" ( like used on 1950s buick hoods ) stuck on all kinds of cars....funniest to me was a neat row of three on the driver door of a Honda.....

I don't like it, just curious that there is no "real" picture available... Vaporware?
