There was already another thread on the board about this:

I don't love it, but it's far from the worst FrankenPorsche I've ever seen.

I like it, but i'd never do it. Everything except the rear bumper. BTW, is that Laguna Seca Blue?

I really like the flat nose but I think they over did the rest.

To each their own and I appreciate the work that went into it but...not my bag. The rear wing seems ok but that's where it ends for me. How does it breath with the lights filling the air ducts for the radiators!?

Awesome to see some variety, I really like it on the blue.

Of course, give me 30 minutes in that car and the front splitter would be ripped off.

I think the front looks great although I wonder if there's enough cooling for the two radiators.

The side skirts, rear flares and bumper look like they threw it together quickly. If they actually took the time to weld the flares on and eliminate the rivets I think this could have looked great.
