well if money is no object.....

then what you really should do is the 997 conversion. same ordeal, lights, fenders, front bumper. probably the real expense would be sourcing the lights.

I've looked at the 997 conversion kit. It's about 6500 just for parts. But that is also the carbor kevlar kit, not a fiberglass one. I figure this car will be my project car that I keep around for awhile (3+ years). Now that's not normal for me. In the past 18 years of my life as a licensed drivers, I have had 15 different cars. That's an average of 1.2 years per car. This car will be something I can keep and take to car shows and also to the track.

I know a guy that owns a body shop who is an excellent painter. He owns a 997 that he has done work on and it looks great. He has painted parts for my friend who has the 996 with the RSR kit on it.

If I do the 996 conversion, I would most likely go with the GT3 bumper. Both my wife and I seem to agree on that one.

997 Conversion?
why would anyone pay $7,000 to have their beautiful concept car inspired Boxster look like a VW bug.

p.s.
The 996 was an adaptation of the Boxster. Both the front end and interior. The design was soooo good and after careful consideration speaking with the Japanese assembly line experts, they decided to make the 911's look like the hit Boxster design.
The 93 concept Boxster was put out for sale in Europe in 1996. The 996 911 didn't make its way to states until 1999. So yeah the 911 is a copy cat and the Boxster is cooler.

p.s.
I prefer the GT2 because the GT3 front bumper (MK2) looks a bit too similar to the pre- facelift 911, which is often confused for the Boxster (MK1) aero front bumper.
There's no confusing the GT2 front end with a Boxster. Something to consider..
