Why would you want to do this to your 944?



Porsche 944 All Models Sleepy Lazy Eye Kit Modification Bonus Mod Info CD | eBay

To me it makes the car look broken.

As requested, here's the 944 in question:

I love a clean 944 and most clean ones are worth more than the average boxster. But, most 944s I have experience with are craigslist specials owned by the people of Denver haha.

Yes that's what it is. A broken light alignment. My car just started doing this without the modification.

Why would you want to do this to your 944?

I was watching 16 candles a few days ago. I think 944s have something really special about them. Some sort of can do attitude. It's the euro camaro or something.

You know you're right, they kind of do.




I didn't know they had a 50/50 weight distribution to them. Think I'm going to start checking the local CL for one, in red.
