I was just thinking about body kits, because that turn indicator system on the front really doesn't do it for me. Now, I'm sure we all know about Chalons and other kits with a 924/944-esque nose, but I was just thinking: Why not get a kit that puts a 911 front nose on the 914?

Maybe someone could Photoshop it up to see what it looks like... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

The red car is nice but to critique the design:
-The front has more mass relative to the rear end, probably because it borrowed a front end from another car
-The front flares appear to be elongated while the rears are bubble shaped.
-The slope nose edges seems to be consistent
-The lower body form is improved but you still have the same old greenhouse
-Nice modern wheels, easy update

thomasotten,
Yes there has been a resurgence of automotive "retro" design" just as there are many "retro" movies: Starsky and Hutch, Charlies Angles, etc. I do agree with you in that the 914 can easily be the "in fashion" along with the Mini and New Bug. Unfortunately the 914 design remains the unwanted Porsche child as long as Porsche caters to the affluent and conservative after the 928 and other attempts to change. Maybe it should have been a VW as it may have had a better chance for revival...
