Interesting mod
Has anyone seen this before, online or in real life?
 I personally think it looks kinda cool, not too ricey, more like a modern bmw...I'm sure I could never afford it (and the necessary paint job) though. What does everyone else think? BTW, on the same site (jacquemond.com) there is a hideously ugly GT2 mod for the 944.

Burn the fire.

That GT2 kit would be nice if they showed a Coupe version.
... And didnt switch the the acura-styled headlight look. That's just overdoing it imo.

I think it looks awesome, but rearward visibility can't help but suck. I mean it sucks stock, gotta be almost nonexistant with that kit.

Really cool! The headlight mod looks interesting as well..I can't quite figure out what's done in 944 wide body conversion. I know it looks different, but I'm not sure how..can anyone help me out?

I have seen versions of that hatch before and actually like it.
Visibility would be a real problem but I think they complain of the same thing in the Diablo. You can tell it is a real sports car if there are a few comfort things you have to ***** about.

You think that rearward visibility sucks in a 944?!? There is nothing behind the seats besides glass!!

and they bragged about the visibility lines in the brochures. Yes, there's lots of glass back there. It's mostly good for looking at the sky, though--it's far enough away and you sit low enough that you miss a lot of the road.
But I won't drive anything else, so I'll live with it. I'm also wondering what they've done in the "wide-body kit."

Rear visibility in a 944 is VERY good. Try driving a new celica...that car is such a POS..you feel like yorue in a cave. Btw, i saw someone on the road with that bodykit, minus the ugly part over the hatch. Kinda cool and sported the "wide944" license plate.

Don't know what a new celica is like, so I'll have to believe you on that one.
