not bad
Not really a fan of these kind of kits, but this looks pretty nice.
Wonder what kind of solutions one would have to come up with to compensate for the difference in overall performance.

Don't try to make the car something it isn't.

I think it looks like the mating of a Boxster and an MR2

it's missing one key ingredient from the CGT and that's the V10 and its sound.
it would fool non car nuts but, I'd cringe at the sight of that.

If the wheels were a sinister "carbon-black" instead of "lounge-lizard-chrome"
the whole overall effect would be a lot more convincing.........and a whole lot
more palatable...............

I think when this car was posted a while back someone said it was the same dimensions as a real CGT. I have a hard time believing that.
I'm sure the interior in that car is stock Boxster and if you want to go with the whole illusion factor, changing that would help to complete the look. It still wouldn't total even half of $330K to do that. Plus all the carbon fiber the real one has would be hard to concur.
I could go on and on about why that car sucks but, I won't.

I really like the front end and the rims even look pretty decent. However the roll bars and the rear from what I can see look somewhat out of place.

I have to agree. Every time I see one of these kit cars I think to myself how "off" it looks. However, I like the front bumber, and think it would do really well if it were sold by itself and the rest of the boxster was kept the same with the regular GT-2 or 3 side skirts.

Stop. Now. For the love of god!
I've never understood the desire by some to butcher Porsche's in such a way. It screams poser - and makes your lack of taste and good sense known to everyone.
