What the heck?!

I was looking for 944 pics to make a wallpaper out of when I stumbled upon this:

Oh the horror! Please didn't tell me they stuck one of those fart-can 6" wide ricer exhaust pipes on the back too!

Ricey, but cool. Looks like a Nissan from the front end. I kinda like the rear hatch. Probably would take care of most of the leak problems. Could do without the cheesy stainless/aluminum spoiler.

Where did you find this at?

I just did a http://images.google.com search for 944 NA, and it came up. The site it's from is a Czech site (.cz is czech right?):

I guess that'd explain the color choice, eh?

I've seen that rear hatch for sale before. I do like the hood and.....ok, just the hood.

I think the big back end look of the rear hatch makes it look like a Lotus Europa. :-(

Asking if you should replace that timing belt is like asking if you should re-use a condom that may have in hole in it with a hooker.

I think Strosek offered that conversion back in the day...

Not my cup of tea.

I don't know what Strosek is thinking with those "sqint-eyed" headlights

Not terrible.......minus the wing..

Don't really care for the lights...

DO like the side skirts..they tie into the front arch nicely

Rear spoiler is performance products I think..

Whatever you say about this one is does look like it was done right.
