boxster update conversion?

has anyone ever looked into doing a 996 facelift update to the Boxster (fenders, bumper and headlights)?

Yes, a few people have done it. somewhere on here there is a list of all necessary parts.

wow. i agree. it's nice, but damn...is it worth it? personally, just replacing with clear lights would probably give the same affect.

How about just buying a used early 996 bumper? Bolts right on with no other changes.

good point, and can probably find pretty cheap and would be a different look

I think it looks good on my 01.
