hmmm so all you need to change are the bumper, head lights and rebar? the fenders are the same size as turbo ones? nice now i can get my friend to change out his 99 c4 front end to a newer 996 gt3 look.

All I did was change the bumper and modify the radiator ducts. The headlights and fenders are the same

Yeah its quite easy to put on. I haven't touched my back bumper but it takes fitting if you want to install the OEM turbo bumper in the back since its not as wide as the turbos.

IIRC- You also need to add three or four lower support brackets for the bottom front of the turbo bumper. I remember seeing a thread on this here but can't find it. Showed pics of the support brackets and their placement.

one thing I'm changing about my car is that I'm going black grill inserts. It should tone down the yellow a bit.

Do you think the turbo bumper unbalances the aerodynamics of the car?
