Very interesting.

Lots of body work nicely done.

I especially like the way they incorporated the techart ducts and fogs into the bumper instead of having it as separate piece.

Sorry to go against the concensus, but I think the flatnose ruins the balance of a 911 and the extra wide wheelarches of this car make it look even more out of balance.

Each to his own...

For some reason I can't seem to put my finger on at the moment the back end of this car looks too 'heavy' and the rear wheel arches just don't look right (I think the forward part of the arch is too straight up and down and the rearward of the arch is too flared backwards).

Looking at the factory flatnose its clear that the factory car looks much more balanced. Maybe the integrated rockers also make the car look too "thick"?

I think it may be the rear wheels which, have that ricer slammed look.

I want to like it but something doesn't fit, maybe with different wheels it would look better? Clear front lenses would help too, i don't think orange on the front of any model 911 really fits........

Neat car and I respect the amount of work that has gone into it....I have worked over the years at a body shop so I know the labor involved on something like this....but...

1) The nose on the car is not right...it is looking up at a "rake of an angle" which in the pictures looks "off" also there is too much ground clearance from the ground to the base of the spoiler....if this were to be level or down slightly the car would look TOUGH!!! Also the wheels do nothing to compliment the car...and wheels on these cars make them!

Here is what I mean:


This looks tough because its low and level, look at the stance, the nose and the wheels - puuuurfect!....


Please do not take any offense, from my crtiques, just my own observation and thoughts.
