I had a 996.1 c2 nb which was converted to look like a 997 gt3, and was (IMO) a stunning looking car, it's fair to say this car was frowned upon by the purists, but I liked it, and as I have said in the past if we were all the same it would be a very boring world to live in. I sold the car last week for north of 18k which blows the "it'll devalue the car" argument into a cocked hat, I'm sure there will be plenty of people who may well disagree that you shouldn't change what Porsche have spent many millions on r&d producing but I would buy what suits you, not what the greatest consensus of opinion is.
