Funky body kit

Some nice elements, some not so nice.

I love the front end. I would like to see a little more spoiler on the rear end though.

I like it all around though the roundish front doesnt go with the boxy sides and rear.

The front isnt bad... the vents into the rear though? WTF?

Then there is the sunroof... Is it just me or did they glass in the factory one and hack that tiny one it?

well, it's a euro 944 (RHD), so who knows what the roof was like? the antenna is forward of the sunroof, so i would tend to think it was a sunroofless car

Here's an S2 cab reshot in speed yellow, although it shows a little darker in the photo.

I like it but the rear wing is weeeeeak. And the fenders make the wheel look real small.

i actually like the rear spoiler - much more updated looking - i can't put my finger on what it reminds me of though

those wheels are small, and inside those fenders, look tiny

I'm sorry but that whole care screams! rice. From the rims, to the color, and shall we not forget the absurd body kit... I am ashamed there is a Porsche badge on that car.

Should remind you of an OPEL GT perhaps.

Agreed. The car isnt tat bad. There has been worse. What about the 44 with the pontiac sunfire front? That was wrong.

I just dont like the rear. The wing is too small or not small enough. I am thinking that it should be a two piece. That is,... the wing being a seperate piece from the body.

looks like ****.

Body is too wide. Looks like a cross between an Hyundai tiberon and a toyota Supra.

it seems like they really started out working on something, and then rushed to finish it - the front end looks pretty well thought out and smooth - then as you move aft you get into chunky lines and odd transistions
