Facelift... what's the average time?
 

Just wanted to know for all those who have done an 02 facelift and how long did it take? just want to get an idea about the time......thanks

depends if you have the parts already, but for install and paint about a week.
PM me know if you want list of parts.

thanks jam.... i have all the parts already... just wondering how long it takes to put everthing together with paint.....

Took me about 6-7 hours but that was my first time. I'm sure I can do it in about 4 hours this second time around. This is with the part already painted.

go ahead, really worth it!!

I wouldn't say so. If I had to do it all over again, I would stick with the OEM MKI Aerokit.

Back when I bought my 996, all I wanted was the turbo and more updated look. As I learned more about porsches and 996, I now rather have it more original and not as frankenstien-ish look.

i really tried to like the mk1 look..... but for some reason, it just kept looking outdated to me... although there's some here looks absolutely gorgegous...... but those are coupes.....

please excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is a facelift?

I like the aero kitted MKI alot. For the non aero kit ones, I agree that it looks dated.

hatr: facelift means upgrading the front fender / headlight / bumper from a 99-01 to a 02+

Ahhh, thanks for the help.

The facelift has it's fans and those of us with the older look prefer that too.

I prefer the aero MKII look with new headlights over of the boxster looking headlights, but thats my opinion.. plus I kept all of the original parts, if I want to go for original look.

i went with the facelift, mk2 sides and the turbo rear...... wingless though.... so i looks like a c4s without the s, the 4, and the rear tailgate
