Oh My, This is ugly!

I saw this on Craigslist this morning.

"Up for sale is a very unique 2003 Porsche Carrera C4 Cabriolet Converted to 997 GT3.2 widebody. Car was used for R&D for local Body kit manufacture."

Looks like they used some kind of universal fender extension...has a hole for the gas filler door, but no door...or am I not seeing the filler door?

You're right though...very unappealing. The thing about fiberglass add-ons is, they're not supposed to look like add-on parts!

That picture belongs on the sad & abandoned thread. Take an unloved 996, make it worse. Sad

That car is anything but abandoned.
When is someone going to point out the spot on perfect lowered ride height?

I think its just the green color that throws you off.

Pitty, I don't like cabs, i'd be on it like a pork chop.

Oh wait, I haven't had any coffee this morning - never mind.

Maybe I'm shallow but I couldn't look past the crazy eyes and the button nose.

I think this abomination's cousin is on Craigslist here in the Twin Cities. This guy has been trying to ditch this turd the entire summer and clearly has given up. I think he may have to pay for someone to take it off his hands...

"Please call Todd 612 919 3636 make offer want gone today

Thanks trades ok"
