Zender Body Kit for 308

simply horrible

 

I like it. Wheels look good too. Definitely looks aggressive and if you had a car that required body work or interior this could be an option. Otherwise, it's sacriledge to take a perfectly stock car and kit it out.

 

Depends...


Think someone can improve on the Mona Lisa?

 

Hell yeah....bigger tits!

 

Yup. Start with eyebrows

 

for my opinion is very ugly!...I prefer the original car

 

I think its OK but the design doesnt match the pininfirina design of the 308. The vent is squared off and the flares are angular. There isnt an angular piece of bodywork on the 308, only curves. To add angular bodywork to it doesnt mesh right. Thats why I've always felt that the only "kit" that looks awesome on a 308 is the 288gto re-bodies.

 

I don't mind the wide body kits, but the false air extract in the rear quarter is just bad.

For what it's worth, you can still order new Koenig 308 kits. They were about 15,000 a few years ago.

 

Buttugly, IMHO.

This looks more like a Koenig kit. The Zender kit is far more restraint.

 

If for no other reason, I would not get this kit because of the faux air ducts.

They scream, "I'm not real!!!"

There are plenty of fake Ferrari's around.

And there's simply no need to make a real Ferrari look like a fake Ferrari.

 

Why is it a fake air extractor and not just part of the design? I think everyone is off on this.

PS, the 308 is no Mono Lisa!!

 

Would actually look better on a GTB.

 

True, it's MUCH more beautiful !

 

If you mean the indentations aft of the rear wheels I've seen those on other standard cars including Porsches. Maybe they have some aerodynamic purpose instead of letting air out. I've always wondered about this.

Somewhere in central China,
there is a Gremiln missing some of its body panels...

 

Looks like it should have Hotwheels stickers on it.

 

Yeah... Zender did some wind tunnel testing in late '81 and determined that a small notch taken out of the wide fenders increased down force by .005% and reduced drag by .075%!

My thoughts exactly

 

My 328 still catches me by surprise some times, when I pull in my garage in another car and see her great rear view or pull in to a shop with full hight reflective windows and I catch how sleek and perfect she is. I realize how lucky I am. Like my girlfriend, she still takes my breath away....................and needs no make up to do it!!!!!!!!!!! Tony
