Don't know if you've had a chance to see the episode on the 356 that they redid.
Nice wheels, nice bumper treatment...
But...an oval window from a Type 1...REALLY ?
and I don't remember the "S" standing for Sport, Chip....
HMMMMMMNNN...

Yes I saw it & didn't like it. The oval window, the wheels, beehive taillights, lettering on the sides all need to go. "S" is not for sport either. Bumper treatment? Not sure about that either, maybe just remove them?

OK...I'll cop to it....I liked the bumpers. Chip does that often on his cars.

I cringed when I heard about the oval window, but once flattened, installed and blended, I thought it actually looked not bad.
The 356S on the side I could do without and I really don't think one can improve on stock wheels, but overall, they did a pretty good job.
Compared to what they started with, they definitely added value to it.
Your opinions will vary.
