Meh! Imagine the same picture with multi colored panels, louvers, and over the top boy racer stickers. On the plus side, it's already ragged out so he's got that going.

It'll be cool. It'll be similarly cool to other things he has done, but honestly, I have seen many things that rennlisters have done in the past couple years that rival walker and singer both...

Nothing against them- they both do cool stuff. But you can only have so much of the same before you look to the hot chick next to her...know what I mean?

At least he doesn't have to worry about getting it dirty.

Very cool! I look forward to seeing what he comes up with.

I think Magnus gets a lot of hate just because he has gained a following. There have always been plenty of guys doing cools things to 911s and Magnus didn't invent the wheel, he just made it popular and brought a lot of non Porsche people over to the Porsche camp.

Yes, yes he's gotten a lot of press over the years, but...

I've met during one of his East Coast tours. Super, super nice guy. He's so open and honest and even showed me a picture of his new wheels just before he released them. He was so proud of the collaboration with fifteen52. I watched people we come up to him all day, wanting pictures and stickers, and he just kept being the super nice, Porschphile guy that he is. Class act that deserves all the good press he's getting!

I bet I know which wheels he'll use...

I agree, he takes flak for being out there but the work he does, its cool. He also drives the things he builds which I know I'm bad at. I tend to hide the car if its raining.

He tries quirky ideas and from that it gives me ideas.

Everyone has different ideas about how we treat the porkers. Keep them standard then the other half moan, mod it and the purists moan.

The way I see it. You buy it you do what you think and want. Mod or pure we should just enjoy and thank the pioneers that dare to be brave.

That's my tuppence worth.
