I like the NACA hood on the Strosek 928, but without the center hump. I have seen only one in my time without it. Would love to have it for my S4 though. Something about those ducts make it look cooler, mean more business...

That tv looks insane, and it's also wrapped in leather. Uwe Gemballa was a master of interiors. I'm sort of torn when it's comes to the outside. The early Strosek's had kits that looked more glued on and more of a "kit". When they evolved they look much more integrated and a real part of the extreme design. This is why I personally like the strosek kits from 1987 and forward. I would like to buy the later, lower and angeled strosek backwing for my car to complete the later "ultra III" design. But mine was converted like this 1987-88 so I will keep the original custom design. The Gemballa kits were very well built and the interiors insane. But I cannot help to feel that every outside part looks a bit "sticked" on, mounted ON the outside and not a integral part of the design. But they are absolutely very nice cars and as so often it comes down what ticks your box. I'm a strosek man, many are not. As long as it's 928's they are all good to me..!

..And everybody doesn't know that the naca-ducts are a functional part and not just for show. The hump on the hood was an option and in many cases non functional. But as I understand it it was also conceived to make room for the optional motor upgrades which were avaliable at the time. If anyone has more correct info on this, please let me know. I agree with you though, it looks cleaner without the hump...
