Those headlights ...

Not a fan of the wide body, but I like the wheel design, color and LS7. So it's good in my book.

All of the stickers are really cool, if you're a 12 year old.

Too bad there are no pics of the engine and engine bay.

Not my cup of tea, the body mods and wheels selection.

Kind of odd the front bumper is so aggressive and yet the rear of the car is still left stock as near as i can tell. Wonder why some big old spoiler wasn't fitted?

My cup of tea would be a V8 installed into a 996 narrow body. What a sleeper car provided of course the installation of the V8 was "factory" like. None of that loose wiring and fuel and coolant lines routed through the cabin or taped to the underbody.

BTW, Ruf has developed a V8 for use in 991s... That ought to be a nice car but oh the price.

Ok... first off: The car is not "Ours" so we are not the ones that need to like it... the owner needs to like it.
And I bet he loves this beast!

So what are My opinions on this car:
I don't like the body kit...
I don't like the rims...
I dont like the fuel door...
I don't like that the air bag is gone...

I do like the front splitter, but its a little too wide for me...
I do like the front winglets...
I do like the paint... its unique...
I do like interior treatment...
I do like the lights...

I want to see the underside and the motor!!!

Color is a miss IMHO. and yes it does look like a frog.

They need to fit the wide body kit so it doesn't look like a bolt on kit.

The headlights look like the ones from mid 2000's Infiniti.

I like it! I even like the bits I dont like because overall it's just a great project. Like the plate says...deviate...

What is the engine mated up to? Thats a good bit of torque...

Just as bad as those god awful RWB cars. These overly wide, stanced cars NEED to go away...

To each his own applies here.

However, I do like people that deviate from the norm and the reason why it is car "customizing".

I'd rather see this than ANOTHER post that says check out my new (completely stock) car. I'm sure all of us knows and has seen several looking stock cars before. It doesn't really make this hobby exciting in my books.

I do find the 40th Anniversary thread pretty funny. Hey! Post some pics! Let me guess? Silver?
