^ yeah that's interesting I've noticed the nicer looking 'face lifted' 02-04 911 headlights are often cheaper than our Litronics.

If you are going to go with this BIG expense($5-7K) I would suggest making it a GT2 or GT3 face lift and not just the standard 02-04 911 face lift. The show and tell has a good example. I would also switch to the 03 rear bumper because it will even things out, the pre-03 Boxster rear is subtle and a facelift makes the front end very busy.

If you plan to keep the car 10+ years its a great idea.
p.s.
don't skimp on the paint.
