996 to 997 finished project
NEW PHOTOS
Finished the 996 to 997 conversion + gt3 orange paint job
Me and my brother did the conversion and most of the other stuff
it took a while finishing it because we barely had time to work on it but it turned out pretty good. The gaps on the fenders are great and looks sick. I am going to put LED tail lights on it soon.

Wide rear panels, Side mirrors, Taillights, door handles, rear bumper, would finish it off perfectly. Nice job.

It looks amazing, very high quality job!!
I know how much work & $$$ that was.. you're one crazy s.o.b.

I imagine you're done with modding for now ... but just to complete this stage I'd put some tinted led taillights (cheap-ish and easy).

CONGRATS!!

Sid.

It looks good, good job. Yes, some LED tail lights would work very well. I like the roof.

Nice job. I'm assuming you're leaving off the $900 LED strips on the front?

Easy to find new, but I'm assuming you're trying to buy them used?

It snowed a bit this week. I cleared the snow off my headlights in such a way as to leave the opening round. That was my (brief) 996 to 997 conversion. It did look cool.
