Official 986 to 996 Front-end Conversion Thread

Agreed, that car looks great!

I think he sold it a few months ago if I recall.

I was also looking to put 996 bumper on my base boxster, but found out what it would cost and changed my mind. I then wanted to put on an "S" type bumper, which cost the same as a base bumper, but the cost of the grills, trim , ducts and other parts built up quickly, so back on goes the stock bumper...

do you still have the 996 lights you bought? are you willing to possibly sell them

Nothing to say but well done to your conversion.How long it took you guys to complete this conversion?Where did you bought the parts?

It looks cool and makes your Boxster unique, nice job. IMO, what makes this blog and the cars fun are the small but often labor intensive styling cues people add to their cars. For me, if I ever drop 6K into the car I want to feel the difference in the driving experience.

Me neither but when people do this usually is because of front end collision. You take the insurance money and cover any extra costs on top.

Yes, sadly, he did... 325 days ago to the day -not that I'm keeping track. This post makes me miss "Foxy."

My (interim) 330i is ok, but I still want a Porsche 911 so bad.
