Very nice. I prefer the production side intakes, but this car's rear and front end treatments are pretty neat.

Interesting flying buttresses

That's like saying I'd buy the caymanS if it were a ferrari :lol:

(and I thought this based just on the pics, before seeing the dino reference)

the main thing (as always) to me is the power.

but this "exercise" cleans up some of the elements that i find a little odd in the Cayman: the side intakes aft of the doors always look trendy to me because they're slatted and i don't like the entire bumper assembly with those odd fogs.

this car actually looks like what a 997 would be if it were mid-engined........the fender flaring is quite nice and it isn't too much in the realm of something positively awful like a strosek kit or something.

I personally prefer the Bosxter's horizontal intake vanes to the vertical ones in the Cayman (or no vanes at all - black). That is a ridiculously easy swap.

I'd be willing to buy just the front and rear bumpers from that kit if the sold them ...even for a Boxster (if they fit - the rear may be problematic).

I passed a Dino on the freeway the other day on my way in to work... Still one of my favourite designs of all time.

The notch-back wndow with the flying buttresses looks great, and to me really make a big difference with the Cayman.
