Cayman front on 986

[Jeph]

986 with a Cayman front doesn't work for me. It's mixes the old with the new (and not in the popular retro fashion), and I don't think that carries over very well here.

The lines are different -more edgy on the newer Cayman, whereas the 986's rear is more curvaceous. It doesn't make the car's design work as a whole.

Don't mix the generations. And if you're spending that kind of money on an upgrade... wouldn't a 987 be within reach?

Well,

What if someone did a 997 front with a smaller bumper? Might give it a pretty cool retro feel from the Porsche 550?

Based on how much my 996 Turbo front end conversion was, you'd be better off just buying a Cayman in the first place.
