WTF who in their right mind would destroy a great car like that. Someone needs to be shot. IMHO.

Thats pretty horrid.
Still, could be worse, ever seen an 80s Zeemax 3.2 conversion? It uses 928 lights at the rear.

If one must do this sort of thing surely 964 front with 993 rear is best mix?

It looks wilted! A tossed salad with Porsche leaves.
Maybe if he moved the decimal a couple places to the left. J

I agree with Piers - 964 face and 993 bum would be best! This car is sad to look at!

A Frankencar definitely but is it uglier than a stock 996?
If I were stuck with the 996 nose, I'd take the C4 curves over the standard 996 slab sides.

I'm with you, Mark. I don't necessarily see this as an improved 964 but rather, a sexier 996. It still seems a bit nose heavy but definitely an improvement, IMHO, over the vanilla 996 lines.
