Not weird at all. Its actually a cool look, makes the back look extra wide.

I know I've seen pics of that setup but don't have my finger on any right now. And no, you're definitely not crazy, like someone else said, I think the rear looks even wider without a big tail. Never been a fan of the 'big tails' myself

This is my former car. Not a 930 body, but a 964 widebody. It gives you an idea. It is a nice look sans tail.

Nice rides guys... green with envy .

I was wondering how the 'pop out' front fenders would be with out the tail... To front heavy?
