WOW. I'm speechless!!!

I have seen this before and I am still speechless.

If they have even sold one of these kits, that is very pathetic.

Sorry to state the obvious but.....the airbox. You realize where the air goes from an air intake?

Are these maybe requiring a hole drilled into the side of the car so you can see through to the wheel?

By jove maybe you're right. From the pics I thought it was a fake intake like the hood scoops on the non-GT mustangs...

Looks like they did a nice job, Your car overall looks great..... I wouldn't mess with it too much, just enjoy it.

Is your lower section of the front scratched?... I did a big one on mine, I tell people this is my "training Porsche"
