So much wrong with the aesthetics of this body kit. And a crack pipe price to boot.

Well, I have seen worse kits.

Wouldn't want to have this one though :-)

Sadly, we have the same kind of people on the other side of the Atlantic:

Not horrible from the front and sides but that rear end looks like a Chevy Corvair! Butt ugly!

Ahh - in the grand scheme of things not so bad. Interesting gills - I wonder if they are purely cosmetic or actually vent anything (seems unlikely).

Its a bit busy & not something I really like - but I have seen much much worse!

classic case of just because you can fabricate, does not mean that you should.

It isn't good by any means, but it isn't anywhere near as bad as some.

The black widebody from a week or so ago was a lot worse.

The NACA ducts in the hood and louvers on the front fenders are pretty ridiculous. I wonder if they go though.
And when are people going to learn to proofread their ads???????

I had to reply to the ad.

Wow a 77! That's pretty rare seeing how the first model was a 1978. That must mean my 90 is really an 89?"

My 93 GTS was manufactured in 1992.

The front chin spoiler is decent. Too bad it appears to now be missing.

The best part is how it adds "tremendous value"

Or possibly it's just an early '78 - the 78 model year started in Sept. '77 (Porsche factory production years run Sept to July). Odds are the seller is just going by the DOT sticker which shows month/year on it, rather than model year.

Of course, there's an outside chance it was made during Porsche's '77 model year - the press cars were.
