look at what?

i am thinking of doing the same with my '99. can't wait to see the pics.

how is NR's quality? i heard it's kinda spotty and requires more work to get it to fit/look right.

Why would you do this? Why not use the cost of the 2000 996 and the upgrades to buy the real thing?

What is the point of the intercooler air intakes on the sides when you have no turbos or intercoolers?! All the extra body work just weights more and has more drag.

Work does look quality though, at least you didn't skimp there.

Why did it need new fenders? To fit newer (xenon) headlights?
