Well, yes if you also bolt on the front turbo fenders, header panel, headlight covers, aluminum bumper, etc. Or, you can modify the NA fenders to fit the turbo bumper, but you will still need the rest of the items.

nope - the inner filtch panels are different so the 968 fenders won't mount to the 944 - the hood of the 968 is more of a vee and the 944 is more straight

Not really a lot of work, a couple hours work is all to replace the bodywork.

Simple swap out, unbolt the old body work, bolt the turbo piece on. I just happen to have everything you need for the swap for sale.

Of course, you drop some man points if you do the cosmetic work and leave the NA motor in the engine bay.
