Still it is a "different" look!

I give out rep points to many on this board (and even sometimes them to me!) but it is IMHO reserved for a post which increases the general knowledge base of this car or raises the IQ of the forum! But there may be someone out there that gives it up just for asking!?
Agree 100% with Tom here. I think it looks like someone took a bunch of different parts and threw them on your beautiful cab. Oh well, you will still love the 04 TTcab...welcome to the family.

I like it, CONGRATS! The silver on the wheels is not my favorite, and I agree the TA nose would look better, but the Gemballa nose isnt bad and probably makes it easier to go over bumps and dips. Enjoy

I gave you +1 rep for seeming to be a cool guy. Not really my taste where the Turbo is concerned but I dont dislike any part of it. As long as you love it and enjoy it, that's what matters.

Well let me congratulate you on your purchase and welcome to 6speed. Although there is ALOT going on modification wise with the car, with a few touchups the car will be awesome, just way too much for my taste.

Overall though looks good, enjoy it in the best of health and enjoy the stay here on 6speed

Looks cool! I would just replace the Gemballa front with a TA and it'd be sweet!!

Good looking car, congrats on the purchase!
The wing looks a bit too big being on a cab and all. But nontheless, one hell of a car. Enjoy it in good health and be careful out there.

Welcome to 6speed and congrats on the car.
Looks wise its not something i would go for, esp. that hard top thing is for Benzes and does not look good on a P cabriolet.
But to each its own and if you like it thats all that matters, i just think the car looks too busy.
Again, welcome and enjoy the car.

Thank you to all for the warm welcome. I'm not at all offended that everyone doesn't like the way this car is modded. Cars like this one usually evoke some kind of strong reaction, and I expected the strongest reactions from the Porsche community. Anyway, it would be a boring world if we all had the same tastes. Nonetheless, we are all car enthusiasts and I appreciate the congratulations and welcomes even when you didn't really like the car that much.

As far as the rep points go...my request was more tongue in cheek, than anything else. I agree that rep should go out to those who help others with problems, and generally enlighten others with there posts. So, please just ignore my request as a kind of a joke.

At this point I am still learning a lot about this car, but I look forward to being able to help others in the future.

LOL i'll balance that out. you seem like a cool guy that will have a great time on this forum learn and contribute alot as well. you are open minded and not offended by constructive criticism and just REAL responses.

As you can see we dont mean anything by our responses, just our real thoughts, not to be disrespectfull.

Congrats and welcome on board.

I agree with the Gemballa & Techart don't mix. It will be looking perfect if you change to TA GTS front and TA type 1 spoiler blade. Also paint the whole center to black. That just my suggestion!
