Is this what a Pelican in Japan Drives?

Found this surfing ebay. Interesting to see what our Japanese brethren do with their 911's. Interesting front bumper!

Well it's definitely different.

It's kinda got that 'Mad Max' approach going on for sure.

they mod their cars over there with complete abandon,that one`s actually pretty tame.looks cool though but compared to a lot of the turboed unobtanium available over there it`s pretty slow.They love Porsches in Japan though,much better then homegrown

I think that "snow shovel" up front looks ugly! And I don't care for the wing in the rear, either. But no need to discuss taste...

I like the front end, reminds me somewhat of a 934/935 front. I've always liked the look of the two big round lights in the 935 front end.

The tail is a little much, but as long as it's functional...

I've always been a fan of blacked out wheels. Black wheels definitely do something for a car.

Still not even remotely as cool as the brown turbo out in Cali with the centerlock RSR wheels and the holes drilled in the back bumper. There's an article on that car in this month's Excellence. It's not as crazily built as I would have thought. The motor and interior are fairly conservative.

How scary would it be to wire off 25 large to Japan for that car and hope it show up at a port and they let you bring it in!!!!

Thats alot of risk for me and I like risk!!

I think it looks alright, not what I would do. Why couldn't he spring for the extra bucket?
