Swapping front ends
Sounds like the consensus on this board is to keep what you have. It really does look good and very distinctive as is. Just a thought: why not put those discretionary funds to other mods for your 996, or perhaps donate to your favorite charity?

Go with the GT3 set up. The turbo nose is meant for a turbo. It looks optimal on the Turbo and the widebody C4S. I feel that by making a narrow body seem like a Turbo, it is unique, but its not that amazing looking.
But at the end of the day it is ur car. Make your car look like your car, not someone elses car

Austin,
Keep the turbo nose. Your car looks sweet just the way it is. If you still want a little change, paint the front lip silver to match the side skirts. I just did, I'll show you tomorrow. I think you'll like it.

Well, I would prefer a complete 03 GT3 Look on a narrow-body car. With the turbo nose, the car looks kinda wide in the front, but too ... errr... well, narrow on the rear.
With the GT3 front, side skirts and rear-wing, the car looks like everything fits together. I am sure that it also makes more sense aerodynamically that way.

I like the look way it is. add C2 hood and air vented turbo rear bumper ( not OEM part after market part to fit C2 body) for more aggrersive look.....
Austin ....good luck

P.S. Wide body is very good idea...Once you ready let me know.
