I stumbled across this while looking through the 911's for sale on Ebay (Don't tell the wife!!!)
I am not really a fan of the newer 911's but how could you do this to a truly magnificent sports car, especially a C4S??????

He has truly destroyed the car, and the body kit is absolute cr*p in my opinion, it looks like an 8 year old put it on and crudely painted it matte black with a mop.

Sorry, just had to rant a little, I really do hate it when people try these kit car jobs on perfectly fine vehicles.

This is truly tragic.

I like the question from the guy asking if it had any leaks.
That's like asking if the Titanic had any leaks.

At first I thought it was some crazy rich russian guy who decided to make his Carrera GT look rusted and hellafresh but then I realized it was a 996 C4...

I think this is an amateur, and a really incompetent one, trying to replicate a project from the Kit Car tv series. They did a GT from a w/c 911 once.

Wrong forum. I think this belongs to the Carrera GT section - or maybe not.

Its a standard Carrera 4, not a C4S(despite what the ad says)

Not that detracts from the crime being committed of course

I particularly enjoyed the bit about 'If you don't have the funds, keep dreaming...'

Some dream.

Still, of all the 911 types this guy could pick to perform his Frankenporschestein upon... thank God he choose a 996.
