i have a couple of pictures of the fenders. It was a lot of work cutting, welding and grinding the fenders. Its a lot of work. Give it a lot of thinking. Its not a easy project.

Awesome mod!!!
I did something similar but without changing the fenders/lights and it still cost me 10K...
That said, I feel your pain!
Looking forward to seeing the final product!
Good luck!

Ps. I also put a turbo decklid with oversized CF wing on mine (have the C4/red S lettering on now but no pics) are you planning to do something like that as well?

Looks like it's coming along. I sure hope you got the car for cheap as the mods seem like it's adding up to a 997 territory...
BTW, are you going to get the OEM LED and Fogs? Those are mucho $$ too.

I have read www.ladismantler.com site 996 to 997 conversion.
I found these pics.
Do you have cut fender and rails too (see pics)? Or only fenders lower part.

The fenders i have are not aluminum, but yea when we welded the fenders they did melt a little and became kind of wavy. The guy who is going to paint the car said he will fix that tho.
