Strange...so how does one open the door?

[HHI944]

Remote....common mod for ricers to do.....dunno wtf possessed someone to do it to an SC

[911SauCy]

^ IMO it looks great.

I've never seen this on a rice burner but MANY high end custom streetrods, high boys, business coupes etc

[masraum]

Yep, door handle delete is not uncommon on hot rods. They used to hide a button that actuated a solenoid. I'm sure these days it's a fob that does the trick.

The "Features" list says it's got an air dam, but I didn't see one.

No door handles, whatever, but leaves the nerfs, sugar scoops and fogs dangleing?

CA records mileage at inspection time and it is public record.

It does seem like a weird "upgrade" doesn't it. I really like the smooth SC valances with no fog lights. It's a nice clean look for the front of the car, but I can understand having them on the car to sell. Most folks think fog lights=sporty.

+1 Weird car... Standard flag mirrors also look out of place.

It's like a woman with no eye brows. Hmmmm

[Porsche-O-Phile]

Truly tasteless. Yea it's cheap enough but I'm getting sick of fixing other people's stupidity and/or lack of taste in cars, houses, etc. I'd hold out for one that wasn't so stupidly "modded". God only knows what else is screwed up on it...

[onewhippedpuppy]

Weird car. One major custom mod but otherwise stock. No mention in the ad that it has no door handles, how's that for comprehensive disclosure?

A hammer would work easily, well at least one.

You have a remote that unlocks the door and then an electric "popper" solenoid pushes the door open. My husband has done a few of these for high end hot rods.

The only problem with this is they did not modify the car ENOUGH. A 911 has great lines and beautiful glass area. If you are going to lose the door handles, then smoothing out the bumpers/lose the accordion, losing the rocker sills, trim up the mirrors (e.g. vitaloni?) get rid of the fog lights and put H4s in lieu of the sugar scoops. That would have GREATLY improved the look. That would have been just a very smooth car, a real interesting custom at that point.

it has a nice ride height, looks like a nice car.

[RANDY P]

man, what a stupid idea to shave the handles. It's a PITA to live with.

What happens when the battery dies? Did he PO put an external hood release like an old Ford?

PASS. It would take some $$$ to repair the PO's custom work. Car better be cheap.

Car will sell for about $18K

This. And shave the gutters while you're at it.

[Laneco]

Exactly! And lose the antenna in the fender. Likes a nipple growing out of somebody's head. Hate it on my car - definitely something I would change.
