Porsche 928.. well it's what it used to be anyway

I only found out this site existed a lil while ago! its awesome to see the talent people have! i never realised so many people modified plastic models!! I havent known anyone else here who has really modified their plastic model / kit wise etc. Anyways - here's something i did last year for a design project.
This was based on the Koenig Porsche 928 kit by Fujimi
Here are the before photos





Here's after adding my own magic





As you can see i never really finished it.. but what you can see hopefully is that i changed the headlights, the bonnet, front bumper, the sides and i shortened the back pillars adding a new bootlid.

Feedback would be awesome!! and i also have more pics of it and with racing graphics too!!

Your version is way better than the stock Koenig. I really hate the look of the testarossa on a Porsche.

Damn! It looked alright before you modified it, but now it's a true work of art.

Any thoughts on color? Or do you plan to leave it white (plus the graphics you mentioned...)?

Anyhoo, great job... keep it up.

Good job getting rid of those "pop-up eggs" they called headlights.

Looks great in every angle. As for the color... hmmm... keep it white or paint it Porsche silver with red interior.
