Couple shots of my 951 after lowering the rear to match the front.

I have never hidden from my true colors…
I really like the 944 for its handling and performance capabilities along with the remarkable engineering for the time when it was produced. It also looks nice too…but when somebody makes modifications that will detract from the performance strictly for that sake of appearance then I find that to be an affront to the basic design philosophy.
Aesthetics are a case of what each individual likes – while that can be debated you can’t dictate somebody else’s tastes (BTW – I think the wheels are good looking – but that’s not the point here!). Performance, on the other hand, is not like aesthetics – it can be measured and agreed upon. In this case even you agreed that it will detract for performance – and therefore I can’t agree with it! It contradicts the design intent of the car – good handling. I don’t care if it’s for daily, weekend or whatever use – it still detracts from the performance.
As you say – to each his/her own. But that does not mean that I won’t make a comment when I see something that contradicts the ethos the Porsche built in to the 944. “Decorate” it as you wish – but if you detract from the performance you really should, in my opinion, be playing with a different toy….you are missing the point of the 944…
PS - the spelling was for the sake of 'afect'.

Car looks great Tman. Got a real 'Killa' look to it.

Ya know Tman, the only thing I don't like about your car are the sideskirts, and thats only because they aren't my tastes. They still look very well done, and I want your fixed headlights! Did you take any pics of the project? I remember you saying you made them yourself, correct?
