    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    Hmm, flat nose makes a return. Guess this is the modern intepretation of the flat nose 930?

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    Looking at the nonsense done to the car as a whole, I suppose the shrouding over the headlights is an automotive equivalent to the "bag over the head" for a drunkenly acquired one-night-stand...

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    spooky!!! like seeing a ghost

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    While I do not like the look of this either, it does have history associated with it. For those who do not know, Porsche built flat nose 911 turbo (930) since 1981 as special orders, although it was only made as an official option in 1986 (I think). The early flatnose had its headlights at the bottom just like this 996, and this became a pop up headlight later.

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    I don't like it at all, it looks like a cheep mod the teens do to their Civic. The fit and finish is awful.

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    I know all about the history and all about flat/slant nose p-cars. This is a perfect example of ruining a car's design. Like many after-market kits (IMHO) I've seen plenty that ruin the design and little to none at all that improve on what the factory has already done.

    Funny thing is though that if Porsche were to offer something of a flat/slant nose, I suspect it would be different but my guess is that it would be well received. Just my $.02

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    it looks blind

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    sooooooo ugly.....

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    jeez, obviously there is no limit to what stupidity in combination with a good dose of tastlessness can reach... *pukes on keyboard*

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    Porsche should sue companies who offer such UGLY stuff. Horrible, absolutely horrible.

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    Looks like a dead old fish

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    Hey, the technology allows teeny tiny headlights, right? What are designers to do? They want to stay on the vanguard of auto technology.

    When you stop to think about it our 997 headlamps are really too big and anachronistic (or, more politely, they're retro).

    At least the design is driven by technology and not by "flair" or "wispy styling" like the new BMWs.

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    Oh my god, they butchered the car!

    Exactly what I was thinking

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    Awesome ..

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    no smile ...
    no 911 ...

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    The lack of curvature and additional flat surfaces makes the appearance simply too bulky. What is really hideous is the attempt at an engine turned gas fill cover. It looks like a skin growth that needs to be removed.

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    Mazda RX-7 ...

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    With no disrespect, it looks awefully Jananese.

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    Oh yes....I'm blaming YOU! Im just glad they didn't do that to a 997.

    Re: Guys, please don't blame me for this, but...

    disaster
