Miykl, in few weeks my car will be going to body shop to be converted to 997 TT. I will post the pictures when it’s done. But if you are considering doing front facelift this is how it should be done IMO.
Together with Dan from Speed Gallery we made 997 fenders that fit on 996 front (not as ease as I thought at the beginning). This kit is different that jacqmond’s kit that actually has 996 fenders with 997 headlights and you can use them only with his front bumper.
With our 997 fenders you need to use OEM 997 hood so that all the lines are exactly as on 997 front. This way you can choose any bumper that is available for 997 (factory of aftermarket) and your 996 front will look exactly like 997.

If I were to do a conversion, which I wouldn't because I think it takes away from the car, it becomes like a frankenstein. I would do the carrera gt front headlights. I saw it somewhere on 6 speed, its pretty cool and really different.

that's sweet! it's great that one can use the oem bumper. i am assuming the fenders are composite, right? are you rear TT flares steel or composite?
