Why don’t we applaud the guy for at least respecting and purchasing a Porsche.

So what if it’s not to everyone’s taste… It’s certainly not to mine – But he’s doing his own thing and if that’s what he likes then all we should ever comment on is the fit and finish and detailing plus performance when he has finished.

Look at all the other **** available for our cars – I mention no manufactures!

We should be welcoming Porsche owners and not disgracing them.

I Ask you... What you liked when you were a kid and what did you draw on pieces of paper when you were at school??? Rockets on the back of cars or maybe you looked up to the bat mobile – my point said.

There people that dream every day of owning a brand new Porsche but the fact is that for most of us this will never happen.

NEVER DISRESPECT A FELLOW LOVER OF OUR MARQUE

I don't personally want that look for my car, but damn. What I saw was a fellow car lover creating something he really loved. With the exception of a few people here he probably has more wrench time and money in his ride than most. Just always find it sad to cannibalize our own. Aren't there plenty of Nissan lovers doing that for us already?

I feel the same way, Acetylene. I definitely appreciate all the work that went into that. Don't like the tails, the mirrors, and the fact that he reduced rear visibility to almost nothing. And i don't like the fact that the video left out MOVING SHOTS. Would have been nice to see it in motion.

Its a nice effort based upon someone's mental image of their perfect Porsche. Its like my former RS project, love it or hate it, its one of my favorite style of cars. Almost everyone's body mods will be based upon upbringing and sub cultrue influence, this guy/girl just hangs out with a different crowd than we do.

Exactly what I was thinking! The builders appeared to have some talent. Talent is not a substitute for taste though.

The wing reminds me a bit of the old Merkur XR4Ti spoiler.

I agree with all the "respect his effort" stuff.

I also, however, think the car was actually more nice than rice. I didn't notice any subwoofers, or underglow, or stickers. The flares and vents were a little too much, but overall I think it was a very creative, very well executed and crafted body kit. Not really feelin' the headlights, but they're OK. The hatch is guano. But the tail lights, the mirrors, come on, not only are they cool, but they're waaaaay more modern than the stuff the 944s came with.
