I've made the plunge and bought 02+ headlights. Now I got to get the rest. For those of you out there that have done this, am I missing anything from the list below?

996 2002 Left front fender
996 2002 Right front fender
2002- Xenon headlight Right side
996 2002- Xenon headlight Left side
996 headlight tray right
996 headlight tray left
996 Right Headlight harness 996 2002-2004 Xenon
996 Left Headlight harness 996 2002-2004 Xenon
996 Headlight tray left
996 Headlight tray right
Clamping bow (2 req.)
996-Bushing (2 req.)
CIR Clip (2 req.)

I will be getting a GT2, Turbo or Techart bumper to compliment the look... Still undecided.

BTW, if anyone would like clear headlights, Cargraphic front lip w/silver inserts or good conditioned fenders, please PM me. They will be for sale after I install my new parts.

Thanks---

 

your getting the itch for a change huh? me too but i think i'll wait for a 997 conversion. hopefully misha's will look oem.

sorry, i don't have any advice for ya .

 

you can msg cool996 he did the conversion onhis cab...

Jon,
You may want to send Newport996 (John) a meassage, he did the face lift on his cab.
Cheers,
Stan

 

I did do the facelift, but I had it done so I am not sure what little extras you may need...It looks like you have just about everything there....

 

I'd do the rear bumper cover while your at it.

 

thanks for the help guys.... im actually finding it to be much, more money than I expected!

 

I would look for used parts.....if done right it can be quite reasonable.....ebay is your friend....lol....

 

It always is.

 

Hi there,

You're missing your mounting hardware from the new trays to the fenders. They are different and must be changed in order to work proper.

You'll need 6 in total two of one and four of the other. They retail for around $40 per each

You also need the front trim between the headlights (surounds the latch for your hood) retail for around $20 bucks.

If you have any other questions, you can message me,

you got to sell you old parts on ebay bring down the total convert down...I sold my old headlight, fenders, and bumper and ended up making more than I spend or the replacement parts! the convert cost about 4-5K depending on your bodyshop and this is when using used parts...it is a lot of money, but you will love you new look......it is like having a another Porsche which is nice...never being confused for a boxster PRICELESS!!

 

yeah... that was my plan also... but all I've sold so far is the xenon headlights... I still have a stock bumper and fenders in my garage!! Thinking of just tossing them now....

jus a pain to list things on ebay and do all that stuff...

 

I'll pick them up from you if you're going to do that......

Thanks Eli... I've added those

nicolas, the conversion really is PRICELESS

cool996, i've seen stock front pieces actually selling on ebay, so you should post them up! At least get some $$$ back....
