Ugliest Mod - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

schnellman · 07-03-2009, 05:10 PM

The thread about the Boxster with 20 inch spinners got me to thinking. When I was with the 1st Cav at Ft Hood we had a Captain with an older 911. He painted it jungle camouflage from bumper to bumper. I told him he should have his Porsche privileges revoked.
How about you? What's the ugliest mod you've seen thrust upon a Porsche?

I am sure you have seen the pink pepto-bismol boxster. That's gotta be up there!

I'll add a few more...

The 911s: 1) there's the one with unholy spoiler, 2) another that looks like a cartoon, 3) 40 lbs of gold on a 911 - that's insane, 4) spoiler turned into a functioning grill - now that's cool!

There are also those that didn't need any mods:

1) The entire 914 model
2) The 359
3) The Tapiro

There is of course the 928 pickup!

But, in my opinion, the Cayenne takes the cake!

More 911 debauchery...

I thought that the 928 pickup was tastefully done. Most of the other cars were just paint jobs that were used to reflect the owners personallity. I once had a pristine pull handle MGB that everyone would get on my case about making any mods on whatsoever. All I wanted to do was make it more dependable and faster. I finally got tired of all the nonsence and put a slight gold pearl over the Red paint jod and had it change color before your very eyes. When I p*ssed off eveyone enough I wet sanded it off, put a couple of coats of clear back on and restored it in less than a day and 2 six packs. No one bothered me after that. Who knows what is in the heart or mind of and owner. In may case my wife said that it was dementia. Ed

the funny thing is, i had a dream the other night i was driving around in the pink boxster ( though the top was also pink not black ) and everyone just looked at me and shook their head. i don't think it helped i was wearing a pink shirt and listening to barbie girl by aqua. but i thoroughly enjoyed myself in my dream. i guess embarrassment isn't an emotion felt in dreams.

when i woke up i had to run downstairs and make sure it was all just a bad dream.

At the second year Porsche Palooza, this guy showed up in a v8 911. It was a hit of the show only because people were gawking at the fact he'd make an already poor handling car do to the weight hanging off the rear, handle even worse. The guy was "bragging" about almost losing it in a corner all the time.

My friend still has the pic but I can't seem to find it. He's going to email it to me when he gets off work. It was truly awful that someone would cannibalize a 911 like that.

Looks like it has a 6-71 blower on top, too.

This one's right up there (from the other thread)...

No, but I did find my picture. No offense to anyone from Arkansas. The caption was fitting to the picture, I believe the guys name was Delbert....
