This picture is awesome and perfect for that car. That car is a disaster. The front lip on the ground and the stock rear ride height and OE bumper sticking out is about as bad as it gets and then the two tone Chameleon paint. Dude, one have to work really hard to turn a 911 into something worse this one.

I'm not against modifications or personalization. I love RWB builds. Akira Nakai is gifted. This person is not. A $10,000 paint job doesn't make up for lack of talent.

So confused. It certainly looks like a snow thrower, but I can't see the rotary blades.

Definitely rice and the wheels are an attrocity. I've never seen a Koenig 997, which is what it looks like if their Testarossa and a 997 got drunk and at a club, hooked up, and had a bastsrd child.. Too many 80s design thenes going on for a car 2 generations later, but I actually don't hate it as much as I should. Not that I'd ever own something like this, but I'd look at at a car show.

The LWB stuff, I can't stand with flares that look bolted on to the outside of the fenders and not integrated in - look like the JC Whitney flares people add to their pickup trucks.

It's also a 996. What do those guys think about it? They are a bit more shameless than we are

This should be put in the 996 forum so that they can barf instead of us.

I'll be the contrarian. I don't hate it. Color is bad. The front nose is too much... I wouldn't do it to my car. But I don't hate it. I like that people are showing these cars some modding love.

Whoever did the body and paint did a really nice job. The outcome isn't really my thing, but to each their own.

On a different note, what do you all think of the Old vs New kits that come out of Japan?
