It's not that bad!!!!

Remove the hood, the CF headlight "Eyebrows", then the stereo, body kit & get better seats, that's about all it's needs. There may be a couple of other little things, but some of it is cool.

Bastardization of the highest order.

I agree! This car has been a bit of a laughing stock around Porsche forums and email lists for a while. All I can see is a white 993 Turbo that -- exactly as you point out -- requires only a weekend of "adding lightness" by removing all that cosmetic stuff and the body kit. Sell it all on eBay for a few bucks and you've got a pretty nice example. If that's an authentic factory GT2 wing, I know people who will pay serious dollars for that piece of kit! And it looks like it has a custom intercooler (yes, that could be good or bad) but there's a lot more to this car than the questionable aesthetics.

(yes, I see a white turbo in my future ... maybe not this one ...)

I am pretty sure I saw X-ibit with this car in the shop on Pimp-My-Ride. I think that the guy that owned the Porsche originally - didn't have any wheels on it and drove it sparking down the road on the axles. After the guys at West Coast Customs (no affiliation) got a hold of it.....................There you go...This Porsche.....has officially been PIMPED!

I know, I know; you were just "joking", right?
