Sorry Mike, really dont like this. Changes the look of the whole car...

Trying to get my head around why someone would do this, would have been a bit of effort.

I don't strongly dislike it, but I have this feeling its worse with better pictures or in person. What really counts in looking right with a 928 is also the front view, but ....

Nope! Not for me.
I like the stock ones WAY better.

Gives it a French look, maybe it's got hydraulic leveling suspension.

I wonder what the source was on the lamps.
Look like the old Lexus coupe headlamps from the early 90s.
I forget the model name

Because the 928 was built with those and they fit the car very well.
Also because I love the 928 in it's entirety.
But that's me!

110% agreed. I was asking why someone would mutilate a perfectly good car like this. I saw a 911 slant nose on my way home today with 928 lights in it. I was very confused for a long time.

One of the design features that make a 928 special. Not to be effed with but that's just my opinion.

Surprisingly (to me anyway) was that not all 928’s rolled out of the factory with frog-eye head lights. Obviously not the case in the OP though... I regret not asking the owner to turn the lights on to see if they looked like a 944.
