I know, right? Why would you want to display some uniqueness or creativity? Why would you try to stray from the norm? Why would you want something that can't be purchased at a dealer? (I even read somewhere that some people paint their cars in colors that aren't available from the factory. Can you believe that?)
I guess jmatta prefers a more pragmatic approach when it comes to cars.
Anyway, I'm kinda biased and think the 996 headlights look superior. The 987 headlights positively don't work (on a 986). The lines are all wrong. They're sharper and more crisp/angular on the newer Boxsters. Our 986s are more smooth and flowy. I would rather have a newer bumper with the old headlights than one with a 987 conversion. (987 conversion would easily be the most expensive option.)
Grizzly has a 99-01 Carrera bumper with stock headlights on his car.
I think it looks awesome. That's what I would recommend for an easy solution to look fresh new look. Throw on a silver Porsche crest and you're in business!
I bet it would look pretty sharp with your rims... Plus this option would be less then $1k.
