Thanks guys... Amazing help!

While surfing on the front bumper subject I saw a facelift from 986 to 987 style headlamps, bumper - looked easy, expensive though @ design911. It looks very very nice, but I recently upgraded to XENON and I do not feel like spending that amount of money on this upgrade, maybe if I get 996 some day. But it got me thinking.

What is your opinion on facelifting this much ? Its not just de-ambering, but a complete new face of the car. Is that too much ? Is it too poser'ish ?

Would you do it ?

I think Porsche cars throughout the times has been facelifted a lot, so you can say it's tradition to do that to your Porsche because it has so many personal customization options.
