Yeah, but something's not right with that. The lines, the bumper, the flaring doesn't look symmetrical - something's fcked up with it. Even the hole for the exhaust isn't right.

Body conversions are fine as long as they meet or exceed Porsche's standards for quality - this one I'd say is below Porsche's standards for precision.

Agreed. The change I want to do just changes the backup light from clear to red. Something that really softens the look and gives it a whole new appearance.

Ah ok yeah lighting changes are kind of nice if you're looking for a project. Stock or #2 would suit me I guess!

Are you thinking of this for the V8?

Ok well if it were me, given that you've invested in the V8, I'd leave 'er alone or just do minimal cosmetic changes.

Option 2 modernizes the styling without looking modded. Not a fan of your latest option. Backup lights should always be white for safety reasons.

I voted for just the back up lights to be removed, leave the orange.


But It could also be cool if you were able to put some 911 taillights on it...

Jon, do another photoshop showing the backup light staying white, and changing the outer turn indicator from amber to white...like Gavin's car. Would be interesting to see it comparison to #2.

Backup lights DO stay white when you are backing up - if you convert to white LED's... cool, eh?
