On the plus side, I bet you could fit three chicks in bikinis on each running board.
Leading evidence: 'Run board' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run board' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

It's not pretty, but it's ingenious to use leverage to multiply the wing's downforce.
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 like it a lot. Looks different from any other 996 I have seen. If you just looked at it for a bit it drags you in. The side vents on the front bumper, the fender being pulled in the rear. I would love to see more pics of it.
Different strokes for different blokes.
Whether you like it or not, some really creative thougts behind the mods (e.g., the side mirrors and the single, centered windshield wiper) and looks like some well-done workmanship.
It only took 3 posts for the tired "it looks like a ricer" comment to appear. Why some are so eager to apply that description to any car that has other than the "standard forum approved mods" is a constant source of bemusement to me.
I'm somewhat surprised that this is 9ff. I do agree on the rear wing fugliness. As for the front, they should've integrated the vents better since they were working with a new custom bumper anyways. Those vents look like ebay tack ons IMO, regardless if functional.
The other personal pet peeve is seeing mk1 side skirts on a mk2. I know some mk2's came this way but it just doesn't seem to fit the period correctness IMO.
These guys are speed chasers, and learned based on what they have done to 9ff:
(1) MK1 side skirts provide a better aero dynamic, otherwise why would they've gone with MK1 instead of MK2 side skirts?
(2) The Cayman rear spoiler is actually functional!!
I personally think 9ff just looks ugly,
Well yeah, now that I can see the rear wing I agree the wing is awful. But it's a long way from being a "ricer":

Functional or not, no way. Why would anyone take so much care in the appearance of the rest of the car and stick the wing supports out of two holes in the bumper?
That wing is probably tuned only for high speed runs as a compromise between drag and keeping the rear planted and provide some stability. That wing will not be really that effective on reasonable speeds where the traditional wing mounted around the roofline or above extracts max downforce.
But what I'd like to know is how are they getting any kind of cooling in the 800+hp car when there isn't even any side-ducts? It seems like they might've put a turbo motor in a non-turbo car. I like to see the cooling setup on that car.
Link where the photos are says based on GT2 but the 9ff site says it is GT3 based. It was built specifically to take the production car speed record at NARDO so they're just building a few to homologate it. Perhaps the production models will have a better wing!
I think all of you guys are mistaken...that is not a wing on the back but rather a bench seat(it's hard to tell since the optional seat belts are omitted in the pics). This genius "mod" solves the problem of the unusable back seats due to the roll cage.
Granted, I wouldn't stick my kids back there but the mother-in-law...
Ugly or not, cantilevering the wing off the bumper supports is a really clever way to add downforce without having to add a humongous wing. It's not pretty, but it's ingenious to use leverage to multiply the wing's downforce.
Am I the only one who thinks the graphics look chopped? Especially the rear quarter view with the gradient from red to light...
Add my vote for "ricer" looking. But, since this was apparently designed for a speed record, the crappy looks are forgiven.
Here's how to truly and properly mod a 996. (is that what's under all that crap? On second glance, maybe it's a Nissan Sentra):
