I don't think anyone has linked to this article that I just stumbled across. Have a look...

Not even if you squint! Owner tries to turn a Pontiac into a Porsche - and fails badly...

All I want from that car is the dash and center console.

I don't know what the real one looks like yet. Off to see.

Ok, a real one looks like a 911. I get it now.

I just realized that it is a Pisa dash.

The rear end could be massaged into a more convincing shape, especially with some of the rear massagers on this site. The door is where it's going to be (inset like a wide body), but if you could sand-shape the windows to drop angle at the rear the rear end could take shape. I don't hate the tail lights on a whale tail. Non-car people aren't going to know what it is or isn't anyway.

Can you sand windows to reshape them? Laminated, yes. Tempered, no.

We can cut your glass for your chop top. We also install any glass needed. Wet belt sanding is another way to get the glass to the size you need. Cutting is quicker but the down fall to cutting is that not all windshields survive cutting. They sometimes will crack during the cut. Wet belt sanding is more time consuming but the glass makes it almost every time that way.

Agreed. Just take the Porsche decals off and enjoy!

Some of the kit cars can pass for the real thing....Some guy spent $60,000 turning a Fiero into a Lambo and even used Lambo Headlights, emblems and steering wheel....Obviously stretched the chassis to get the right proportions. I have seen some Fiero kit cars that look good even without stretching the chassis (Even tho the car represented was longer)....

Hands down the worst Fiero kit car I have ever seen is the Ferrari Enzo kit car- it has weird proportions and doesn't even "Stick to the script".....Someone who actually had some talent could have made it look MUCH better.......W*O*O*F!!!!!!

The back of the car is probably the best part of the exterior. I've always preferred notchie taillights over the fastback ones, and I like the ability to see the engine through the clear plexiglas.

Notchie tail lights are awesome. The chopped 88 T-top that the guy in Texas did was perfect.

Here's a custom chop notchback. The notch tail lights lend themselves to the purpose much better than GT lights, IMO.
