I was working on the new car last night and realized that the hood between the 911 and Boxster are exactly the same. I had read in on-line forums before that they're different (between fried egg and turbo-style headlights), but some measurements shows me they're actually the same.

So.... if nothing else I have the OEM hood for my Boxster in the same color as the 911. I should at least swap that onto the 911 as the 911 hood has some paint chips and the other hood I have is perfect. While I'm at it though I could simply swap the carbon fiber hood from the Boxster onto the 911 and just return the Boxster to stock. I can also swap over the carbon fiber mirror housings from the Boxster to the 911.

What do you guys think? I'd really like your thoughts. Do I leave the 911 as is, like in this picture:



Or do I swap the mirrors and hood from the Boxster in this picture:



I'm kind of thinking that I should swap the parts over to the 911 to just take it that much further. I mean I love my Boxster and have put a lot of work into converting it from stock to what it is now. But there's no question as to which car gets more attention and looks more radical - it's the 911. Why not then push it more and add some exterior CF bits? Or is that going too far and does it just screw up what's already a good thing?

One thing is that the exterior CF treatment would match the 911 better. I already have some interior CF bits on the 911 and plan to add more shortly. The Boxster interior though is devoid of CF and I've been leaving it that way because of the cost involved of upgrading.
