Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I've seen that before, it's painted paint-to-sample CRACK!
I saw it last year when it was in for service at the San Jose dealer. Looks like a surfboard. The other Jeff. <img src="http://www.986host.com/albums/ToolPants/wildpaint2.sized.jpg" alt=" - " />
why didn't they complete the car off with some spinners? I think then it will look really "dope"... btw, jeff, nice to a fellow local p-owner. My parent's just live next door from you in atherton. maybe i'll see you sometime!
I think most of us have a pic or 2 of a strange car. I've seen that one before... How about this one? <img src="http://www.fototime.com/664FB8756364D3F/standard.jpg" alt=" - " /> <img src="http://www.fototime.com/87E34CCF7B1F1AA/standard.jpg" alt=" - " />
looks okay here.... <img src="http://members.aol.com/wickedmotorworks/private/996GT2-bb.jpg" alt=" - " /> something's going on here... <img src="http://members.aol.com/wickedmotorworks/private/996GT2-c.jpg" alt=" - " /> omg what the heck is this!!!! <img src="http://members.aol.com/wickedmotorworks/private/996GT2-d.jpg" alt=" - " /> What do you think? <img src="http://members.aol.com/wickedmotorworks/private/996GT2-t.jpg" alt=" - " /> why did someone go through all this trouble???

It looks like a 911/964/993 rebody. The shorter wheelbase throws off the look.
the worse part is the roofline is too high...i just think it would have been better if it was a regular stock...or if they were trying to make it look like something else, they should have kept it within the old 993 gt2 look. i'll be surprised if someone buys it for more than $25k. This is just as good as a kit car in this condition.
If "sweet custom paint job" means appallingly tasteless then I agree with you. For what reason would you need to paint a Porsche like that? It looks like it should be in The Fast and the Furious sequel. A Porsche has plenty of prestige and head turning ability stock, what is this guy fulfilling making his car look like a tow vehicle? Anyway Jeff welcome to the board and even though it does not agree with my taste it's always nice to see something different. I hope you don�t think less of us 996 owners because of that car. -Andrew
they were all verrry nice cars at one time in their lives, my guess would be closer to the time they left stuttgart.
All these cars, as I refuse to call them Porsches are disgusting!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />
To each their own. I think all the cars in this thread look goofy, but if their owners enjoy them, then more power to them.
Excuse me while I barf! :-)
