Porsche Styling for the Z
Hi, i am new to the forums and soon to be a Z owner..
I currently own a 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo, and the most distinctive parts of the car to me is the wide fenders and the signature 944 wing. I threw a bearing out in the fall, so i've been looking into buying a new car, and discovered the Z. Wide fenders, just like my Porsche, made me feel really happy about this car, and a little better about selling my lovechild (944).
Found a beautiful 06' Leftover New Z, Silverstone, drove it and fell in love.
I was searching around for body modifications this week and i ran into the Stillen Type-1 rear wing... BINGO. This wing reminds me 100% of the wing on my 944.
Here are some comparison photos:
the 944 spoiler also has that small Lip on top that looks like it could trap water, just like the stillen one.
After finding this wing, i am a very happy man

Next thing somebody will say that a Z looks like an old Jag E-Type.
FYI, Nissan used both those cars as inspiration. But Porsche didn't invent a rear deck spoiler or that front.

Everyone already says they resemble Porsche's. Personally, I don't want to help their argument. But if you like it, it actually flows pretty good.
And that last one looks like they tried to copy the 360 Modena front.
