I'm not 100% sold on the Panamera but I really like this one. I think it's simple but effective. My favourite thing is the rear lights that have been changed because the stock ones look really bad with the random clear corner. I also really like the bootlid because it gives the rear end some shape.

I suppose the only thing I'm not sure about is the rear diffuser because it looks tall. Apart from that everything else is good.

Lipstick on a pig! I wish the styling was at the same level as the performance and handling.

Blech! As someone above said, lipstick on a pig. Ugly lipstick at that.

I always liked the front of the Panamera and this is better but nothing is working on the rear. It just isn't pretty.

Wow, I really like this thing. That trunk lip helps a lot; really clever idea actually. The taillights look better, and you know I'm a sucker for huge ass diffusers with fins, although it does bother me that they just stop at the bottom of the bumper instead of running along the underside. Only things I'm not 100% on are the rocker panels. The black insert is a common idea, but they look a little too flimsy and could use a more flush treatment imo.

And the central area of the front lip is oddly angular compared to the rest of the car/kit's curvier lines. Just a nitpick.
