It might be a little expensive, but is it possible to replace the front bumper and headlights of a 986 with those off of a 996 turbo? The later ('03-'04ish) headlights of the 996 are a little different and dip down into the bumper so both the lights and bumper would have to be replaced.
I always was under the impression that the 986 and 996 were pretty much the same car from the windshield forward so I think it should work.
Has anyone tried it or has some pics to share?
