Look what you get when you have a very bored individual that received a $20,000 ebay gift card.

Not for me but a fellow 986 poured his soul into it

I seen this car in Pimp my Ride! I recognize that Anziono likes it and I defend his choices eventhough I don't agree with the end result.

Wow. I haven't seen anything that formless lumpy and red since the last time I visited the bathroom.

Think I'll pass on this one.

Id buy the hell out of that thing. 20 grand for an 02 Box S is a great deal. Because of those mods only one person would bid, lol.

Had they actually removed body panels and put custom ones on, it'd be cool, but you can see they just stick parts on top of existing parts.


Like the head lights...I mean, that looks SO CHEAP.

Maybe to the unknowledgable bystander, but to the informed, it looks like crap.

I've been meaning to ask this for a long time now. Are all these plastic stick-ons that I've seen people put on their cars supposed to look like they're (metal) components of a single (metal) body of the car? If that's the goal, I have yet to see a plastic stick-on that achieves it.

Skirts, spoilers, speedster humps, etc. -- it's just always so obvious that they're plastic pieces stuck onto the car, and for some reason that's a turn-off for me. I am aware that there are many that disagree but, as always, just my opinion.

Is that an "aluminum look" trim around the front windshield or a weathered out rubber seal?

I dig the humps and the spoiler... but the headlight covers look like they don't belong... they're above or outside the lines of the car, and look like they don't belong. There were things like that for my previous car (Hyundai Tiburon), and I thought they looked out of place on that car, too.

I kinda like it ( except for the headlight covers ).

I think that car would look pretty sharp in black...

Drop the headlight covers and that thing would look tons better, sorta.

It looks like a Boxster having an allergic reaction to a bee sting or something.

With all that red, I'm surprised he didn't go for the 550 tail lights...

Hey DJ,

How about PhotoShopping stock mirrors and deamberized lights back on, paint it black and change out the wheels for some black or gray SSR Gt3s. I bet it would look smokin'.

I really do like the front bumper and side-skirt design. The skirts especially are nice and clean.
