Ok, I'll go first...

Too many lines IMHO.
I like the concept of wide, but this is trying too hard.
Did Koenig have different kits available?

I like the miles, I like the model year......


But that body kit just isn't for me. Oh yeah, and Jump post cover missing.

And a big hammer to knock the ugly off of it. Wow. I usually love the widebody look, but that's horrid!

Default Oooh

That can not be 'unseen' now, I think my eyes hurt!

Can we please give fair warning of cars that have been mutated to adorn carbuncles such as this!

Why do design houses believe they can 'out design' Porsche, one of the greats? The money would have been better spent at the special wishes dept. ar Stuttgart when ordering new!

I guess i see it differently. The wide body look was just part of the "design era" of the time for many after market companies.

Spacers would really help the sale..but there is something about it that says its not a true Koenig?

There is a guy selling copies of the Koenig 928 kit on Ebay. It's pricey. I've always loved the look of the Koenig 928. It's my favorite widebody 928 design. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-928-...-/180419364600

I prefer the later Strosek Ultra kits, but in general I DO like the 928 widebodies. Maybe it's the light color on this one that just doesn't jive with me. Looking at darker colored Koenig 928's they look great.

Kevin, that's got potential. Would love to see it when it's complete. Again, I think it would look nice in a black, dark charcoal, or dark blue. I really like those wheels. I remember looking at those for my GT, but at the time, Tire Rack didn't have the offset I wanted.

One gets the impression that if that car went over a speed bump in any anger there would be plastic shrapnel all over the road.

There are some half decent attempts at wide body kits but that one not to my taste at least.
