It looks to have D90 wheels now too.
Comes with new dash cover, so definitely worth asking price.

Ugly though they may be, the ducts appear to be situated to direct air flow to the intake tubes and a ram air effect. Nice idea...poor execution.

Experience would suggest that the absence of more interior photos, and a new dash cover being included, shows that it isn't going to be good. You'd have to like the exterior modifications too.

Default Aborted 928's.....

Gents I have seen a few 928's that have gone horribly wrong due to owners bad taste. Granted beauty is in the eye of the beer holder but some of the ones out there I just feel sorry for. Post up pics you have or have seen.. Might be kind of fun/horrific to see some of them.

Here is a link to one I found.

I don't know if it really is that bad... cold air directed to the air intake tubes -sounds like a performance improvement to me! (as gcthree stated)

With all the body repair work (to remove this and buy a hood and a complete repaint, it's worth (-) something dollars.
Looks to have a much later interior. Someone spent a lot of time and money on this.

It would be easier to attach a bridle to that hood when pulling it behind a quad as a sled by looping it through the nostrils.

Which reminds me, time to break-out our 928 sled hood for some towing and slinging the neighbor kids.
