To deceive people into believing you're loaded? To fool yourself? Maybe you just like the way it looks?

Which brings me back to my original post about the 981; those headlights completely suck(!) and are not classic Porsche like at all. I don't care if they look like the Carrera GT's and you think that's cool. They look like lots of other modern hl's and frankly, the body has lost some of that distinctive shape as well. Pass!

Hi! I'm Tony! I own a 986 and love it!
LOL! Insecure is installing a fake Carrera GT body kit and badges on your twelve thousand dollar 986. Buying the car Porsche chose to produce and leaving it stock... Well, if that's insecure I'm afraid we've all succumbed, your own sweet self included...

Oh, and in case you missed the late nineties, there's some historical precedent for boxsters looking like Carreras.
