sounds like fun.
Cant wait to see the video.
I like the style and finish of the wheels.

what other plans do you have for the interior? Any pics of the inside? Are the harnesses green?

Looking past the stock vs. mod arguments, the main thing that I dislike about this car is the square air intake on the front bumper. Given all the rounded, smooth lines on a 993 (stock or custom), the large square holes just look out of place.

Still it is an amazing car in an amazing color and is truly unique. Well done.

Yeah, I realize it's a design that comes from Porsche. I just wonder, since so much of RWB cars is custom, why the intakes aren't custom styled as well.

All in all it is a very beautiful, custom, Porsche.
