Side fenders for early 3.4 996 and late 3.6 996 has little different to fit the headlight. It wasn't that hard work, about 10 screws on each side.

Is that a stock Turbo Bumper? How is it that you have a grill between the headlights?

Excellent job Pearl. Where did you get the parts? Lights are not Xenon are they? So it looks like you can take the fenders off without having to remove the lower side trim? Good as I have the aero kit. Would you say it would be doable to purchase pre-painted fenders and bumper and put them on just plug and play?

Thanks guys. The headlights are Xenon. I was lucky I found them on ebay. It took almost a year to get all the parts. (I waited long time until I get the best deal.) When you take off the fenders out, you have to unscrew one screw from the side rocker. Then the hiden screw shows up from there. Another parts you should take off is the tank. There is a tank on each side of fenders. 2 screws are behind them. Don't foget to take off the screw under the front part of the tray. In order to take it off, you have to take off plastic protecter.

hmmmmm it does look good......I have a factory gt3 aero kitted 99' C2 and was looking to put a 997 gt3 front end on.......now i think maybe this is a better option and would get a higher quality finish as all the 997 kits seem to be fibre glass?
