20 years from now, when everybody sees backdated cars everyone is going to say "what the hell were they thinking? they ruined a perfect SC"

It's the perfect compromise for the 911 owner who's indecided between buying a long hood car and an impact bumper car. It's win-win!

OK, it's hideous... now where did I put that puking emoticon?

Agreed that this is pretty hideous but remember that "updating" longhoods was pretty popular in the 80's. Check out this ad for a rear bumper "styling conversion" from the 1980 Automotion catalog. Top left.

That is actually the ultra-rare Porsche "Platypus" model.

Uh yeah, but the quoted poster was talking about the current trend of backdating impact bumper cars to look like longhood cars.
