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

That's like saying I'd buy the caymanS if it were a ferrari
(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'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.
