i've no problem with the fried eggs. i do, however, recognise that the 986 was an effort to acknowledge porsche history with styling nods to the 356, 550, rsk, etc. so, i understand efforts to reinforce this. sometime it goes too far, and the 986 to 550 conversions, while i understand the concept and vision, are awkward in execution.
i think that is the question here. i understand the intent to go to round headlights, pseudo horn grilles, etc. - to 'backdate' the car and further acknowledge porsche tradition, however i am uncertain that it translates when actually executed - are you looking at the end product objectively or subjectively? are you seeing what you want to see or how it actually works with the car as a whole? not sure yet myself.
ps, the counter arguments are that the fried eggs are now part of porsche tradition (hey, 25 years old now) - they are the backdate.
