I really like the RWB look - this sits 'okay' with me... For a drive around car - it's kind of cool. For what I need it to do - not so much. I do like the splitter though.

Mixed feelings.

Kinda cool... certainly not something I would drive around town though - a little too over the top for my tastes

I agree not something I would do for a street car but it is one of the "cleaner looking" kits that I've seen.
I'd like to know how it test in a wind tunnel for track use though.

I actually would like a kit like this for a track only 996. Any information on the manufacturer?

Overall I like it, but there are a few lines that I'm not a big fan of. I don't like the flow of the side skirts, and the front bumper vents are about 10% too small.

Amazing. Any idea on the manufacturer of this kit?
There are certain angles that make the 996 look ungainly and this kit solves those issues. Notice how great the headlights look on this car?

I like it. It's not like one would be destroying the originality of a rare car.

Is the splitter gone in the second pic? That’s the part I really like.

I think so.

I'll update when I get more info. Production has not started. I have no affiliation with this kit or it's maker.

Looks like a cambered out 350z with a bad bodykit.
