996 Slant Nose Project

Post by Groovzilla » Wed Mar 09, 2022 7:15 am

I've never been a fan of any 911 Slant Nose designs but saw this post on Facebook Porsche page of 996 Slant Nose.
I think it looks very well done and nice shape - Wish it was fully painted in the photo I can see it will turn out nice.

Yeah even though I hate the traditional bug-eye 911 look, I've never understood the swooning over the slant nose. It looks like someone's bad version of a kit car to me.

This makeover isn't changing my view point...

I like me a slant nose. This one, would need to be painted to give final opinion.
That being said, I did see a 996 slant nose at SEMA. It was very nicely done.
