As requested i'm posting more pics, more from the back (for you morghen).
Sorry for starting a new topic, but that one kinda trailed off with off-topics.

i'm curious of how this project ends...i'm sorry to say this but i dont realy dig the rear end...porsches are not easy to "tune" specialy the rear end. But this might just be me because its not painted yet and it has "no" rims....however the front end looks nice and so do the skirts
keep us posted with the progress! good luck !

Talk about some big exhaust tips  I do like the front, sides, and fenders look really nice too.

You are absolutely right it's really hard to do the rear properly. We have done more than 10 different variations of the rear before settled on this one, which is i'm semi-happy with. Rear tune can be really really challenging.
On the other hand you can't not to do rear on 924 at all when you do everything else, it just does not look right. |

are you sure ? 
  
nah realy man your car will look great....just lower it from the suspension not from the bumpers....maby retuch the rear bumper line a bit to go up instead of being paralel to the ground.
I find the 924 ass very sexy...its like a woman with long legs on high heals...just love those 
i hope you dont get me wrong m8 i'm trying to help here:
When you want to do the rear...you do it ALL...something like this:
 
The problem with the 924 ass is that is too high and too narrow to have a wide skirt...thats why all aftermarked skirts kinda suck....the only thing that i like is the 944 Turbo / S2 rear plank 
one last thing...what colour have you tought about ? ....make it yellow with the black top, like this 
With wider weels it will look great ! good luck !

That will look great when all said and done... THe exhaust tips might be a *touch* big for the power the car makes.. But they are very either: a. ferrari/exotic looking or b. cartoony-japenese looking.
In my opinion, smaller tips, possibly in the middle of the bottom bumper slot would look good?
Other than the tips, it looks great, and I'm sure when its done the tips will grow on me.

Front end definately looks awesome. I agree that the rear end is difficult to make look good. IMHO, I think just covering up the spare wheel area would be nice. Im sure your car will look great though!
