We've all seen this car before. At least now he can get rid of it. It's a Frankenstein of a Carrera GT. I like to call it Stubby GT.

The worst part is the boxy rear windows. They do not flow with rest of the car. And to put Carrera GT on the back is just wrong.
It looks like a tremendous amount of work went into the car and from the pictures it looks like the quality of the work looks good. Too bad he didn't just tone it down a bit.

I recognize the 2nd pic. He used it in his last attempt to sell that piece of junk.
I remember the pic because the cars across the street are nice, which is in stark contrast to the monstrosity that's being sold.

pretty sophisticated process is involved in building these Boxster "GT/Carrera" kit cars. I found this site that partially shows build process, what ever floats their boat

WOW!.... They could make more money if they just sold the side and front. I like OEM but WOW! ...wow is not a good thing here. You really hit the jack pot on this one. I guess the Box is not just the poor mans 911 anymore, haha. So whos going to make the batmobile ... or has it already been done?

IMHO, from straight on the front around to straight on the side (surprising me), it's not too bad.
But from there on around the back, I was looking for the right word for how bad the impression was that I got, and I could only come up with "squashed". It looks like a real car was shrunk and squashed and glued onto the back of a real Boxster.
We need an emoticon for "shudder".
But folks, we all know someone's going to buy it...

It's a magnetic sticker that I use for Autocross and DE days, I have two for the doors and one for the hood. Actually I started my Porsche career with an older red 911 and I was given the #8 at an autocross and two years ago I got the black Boxster and the number just happened to work.
