Nothing if you aspire to be a pimp.

I don't think it's all that bad, change out the rockers, and swap a different tail on there and it would be pretty good looking.

And I like Riviera Blue, that one just needs the targa bar & the tail rubber painted black.

Different strokes......but I do not see anything really wrong with it. The painted Targa bar is a tad over the top.

Just 'cause it's not cock$ucker red doesn't mean it's bad. I think it would be OK in black.

It does appear to be minitruck inspired tho... remember minitrucks?

White bread requires aerosol cheese! Don't you remember the Blues Brothers?

The color is over the top for me personally, but hey...different strokes, etc. I DO agree that different rockers, no tail and a black Targa bar would drastically improve it, but that's just my taste.

I've actually seen one Targa in ...ahem....a little more tastefully worded "Guards Red" that had the Targa bar painted to match and surprisingly it looks pretty good...but I like red (Don't even THINK about saying it UncleBilly - )

naw, no butter thanks..i'll pass on the 10%petroleum aerosol cheese too, but you got any apple butter ? yes no crust and toasted thank you sir.


body kit, aero mirrors, door sil plates, seats, rims..at a glance all the thngs the rest of us do. Isnt there another thread here where everyone one is drooling over a viper green..viper green ! replic racer ?
so its ok to build a replica racer rsr because someone in past had one ? but a stroskek replica is uncool ?

its really not my taste, but yes i would drive it to the senior prom and for sure that car would get me some young pussy

Sorry folks, but I love Riv Blue. There were only a handful of 993 turbos made in this color and I want one...BADLY. Diff'rent strokes indeed, Willis.

Yep, all targa bars, everywhere, should be painted rivera blue.
