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 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

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.
