Pic Request 996 GT3 MKII front end on 996 TT

I am looking at 996TT values and think they are an incredible value and awesome platform for modifications. The only thing is that ive NEVER cared for the look of the car, they are ubiquitous here in SoCal so if i buy one I would need to make it look a bit different. I have always loved the GT3's and would love to put the GT3 front end on the turbo, possibly the side skirts and probably get a GT2 fixed rear wing or some update on that theme. 19" GT3 wheels as well and I think it would be unique enough, a wide body boosted GT3 which would end up costing quite a bit less then your standard fare GT3.

So, Does anyone have a pic of a 996 TT with the GT3 front bumper on it? I imagine there are some mods that may have to be done to make it fit, but i dont see why it cant happen. The only thing i question is the rad intake size in the bumper, but I cant imagine the cooling needs of a street driven turbo to be THAT much greater then that of a tracked GT3.

Anyone have a pic of such a car?

Is this what you had in mind or a full front conversion to 997 look with round headlights?

No

Again, Looking for a 996 MKII GT3 Front bumper on a 996 TT

not looking to see what a 997 GT3 looks like, those already exist.

Im sure someone has done this... somewhere. I cant be the only one that really dislikes the turbo front bumper and all its other variants such as the GT2 and the RUF front bumpers on their turbo cars. They look to heavy from the front and side to me.
