I'd have to agree that looks horrible.

Not big on the 935 look but on a heavily track driven car with a big front oil cooler it's fine..

Hmm. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think it looks that bad. I've seen MANY more alterations that look worse than that. After the reading the first few comments, I was expecting much worse. It just looks like a track car with a big oil-cooler up there.

I like it but it may be just because it's red

I've seen worse. Not that I would do it. I like how they say Turbo look in the description. That is def not a widebody.

I have nothing good to say about the front end, but I do like the steering wheel

Maybe a bit over-done but not horrible. It also does not look like a turbo-look body to me.

Its not half as bad as I was expecting. Having said that, it's not something i'd do. Standard looks a load better.

Well, I think it looks the part if it were a wide body car, and for the sub 1980's

actually not so bad... a few other cosmetic changes and you're good.
That setup is pretty standard for the track (but its a tiptronic!), maybe too much for the street..
