Love the looks of that car, only if all the 944/968's of the world was half that nice!!!

Looks cool. Don't like the bulbous shifter though.

Hate the steering wheel-prefer the Porache orinal issue one. And as for the auminium pedals-how boy racer is that on a road car.

Think they could have put anymore seams in that interior? Seams on the airbag, seams over the instrument cluster, seams around all the edges, YIKES!!!!

Not a fan of the dashboard seams, and I really don't like the 968 rearend looks.

It looks like what was done was done well, however. Just not to my taste.

I'm surprised at how much I like the exterior. The 968 tail works well on the cab, less so (for me) on the coupe.

I'm not surprised at how much I dislike the interior. It's fussy and overwrought.

hate the wheels, not a fan of the side molding, and don't like the interior that much. The leather stitching is cool but things look a little cluttered. I like the 968 mirrors though, I have a white S2 cab that I was thinkin of doing the mirror swap on and judging the these pics it would turn out looking good!

i like most of the car. love the use of the 968 rear end. really cleans that up back there.

not a fan of the suede, especially on things your hands go on. it never manages to stay looking new.

not impressed with the decision to run white stitching everywhere except the seats. he should have gone one way or the other. not both.

hate the aluminum pedals.

Tried to do too much, a mix of a sports car and a luxury limo inside. The leather seamed trim inside would probably look ok on a highway cruiser like a 928 but looks odd on a 944. The shifter is boy racer as are the pedals. Not a fan of 968 mirrors and handles on a 944. The 944 shape suits the stock flag morrors better. Looks like good workmanship but guess I'm not liking it much.

With the exception of the shifter, I like it.

It's not mine it belong to RL member Lumbergs Lackey Mmmm Ray.I believe the investment will be quiet high if you look at the work done on the car.Apparently it was Super Charge for a while but he decided to go back stock,don't know why.
