i've no problem with the fried eggs. i do, however, recognise that the 986 was an effort to acknowledge porsche history with styling nods to the 356, 550, rsk, etc. so, i understand efforts to reinforce this. sometime it goes too far, and the 986 to 550 conversions, while i understand the concept and vision, are awkward in execution.

i think that is the question here. i understand the intent to go to round headlights, pseudo horn grilles, etc. - to 'backdate' the car and further acknowledge porsche tradition, however i am uncertain that it translates when actually executed - are you looking at the end product objectively or subjectively? are you seeing what you want to see or how it actually works with the car as a whole? not sure yet myself.

ps, the counter arguments are that the fried eggs are now part of porsche tradition (hey, 25 years old now) - they are the backdate.

In my case it has nothing to do with the fried eggs. It more of the, I wonder if I can do it thing. I'm retired and there is only so much grass to cut. I bought the car to play with. Heck more than half of the stuff I've done to it I end up changing back. I just hope I dont run out of stuff to screw up. Thanks for the input all 😀

PS I ordered a GT3 bumper vent to play with next week 🙄🔫
