so u dont think that 987 fenders will be a direct bolt on to a 986?

reason y im asking is couse i already have a 987 S front bumper and grilles, that bout 800 bux worth of part rite there that i have.

also, is the hood the same on 987 and 986?

that's a sweet conversion, i love those turbo lights on the boxster. i say stick with this turbo conversion then to go 987. i personally think that these 996 turbo lights are far nicer. just my opinion.

seeeya

i like those too, but since i already have a brand new never installed bumper cover and grilles for it it cuts my cost down a lot, and it will still give me a nice facelift, not that i dont like the way my box already looks.

i am just still not sure if the fenders will bolt up

I posted this same question about a week ago as I too am considering the switch. I need to get some litronics, but didn't want to buy them if I was going to do the conversions.

I think I will be going this route, but may use the GT3 bumper instead

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a different hood. What are you doing with all those 987 parts anyway?

I don't like the Turbo or GT3 bumper... those demand I get side skirts. (I'm really suprised PerfectLap hasn't chimed in.)

So, to address my original post, does no one know what that original bumper is? Just standard issue on 02-04 Carreras?
