I don't think so, look at the shape of the bumper where the headlight assembly meet the bumper...

Hence why it's a "front end conversion", not a headlights and bumper conversion...

Hey Jeph,
Foxy is still one of the most tastefully modded Boxsters to ever grace these pages. Bravo!

Conversion turned out really nice, great work! I was looking for something different without dropping the coin so I opted for the GT3 front end on my '99.

Thanks Topless -I agree! I wish the new owner would have become a participant on this forum so I could know how the car is doing from time to time. Instead I have to go the route of a weirdo and email the guy "how's the car?"

(PS, he stopped responding and rejected my Facebook friend request.)

That's a ridiculous price to pay (half the value of the car) for something that looks nearly identical to the original. The stock litronics looks great on the 986. If I were spending that kind of money on a headlight conversion, I would go with this


one.http://www.kryzak.com/storage/986-987-986probs.jpg

Well, to be fair, it wasn't half the value of the car when the work was done over 7.5 years ago.
