    You like the 997 look but don't want to sell your 996? Read.

    It didn't take long...

    Pictures courtesy of dp-motorsport in Germany.
    This is no advertisement for them and I can't say anything about the quality of the 997 front mod.
    Just posted this for information purposes only.

    Yes, both pictures show a 996 with retrofitted 997 front.

    I guess the hood will give it away for whoever goes with the retrofit .

    They made a mistake with the parts
    they should've took a 997 and put a 996 redesigned front :P

    What a waste of money just to have a fake 1/3 of a 997... I wonder what 'loser' would actually sign up for this?

    Maybe the same 'losers' who put GT2 bumpers and GT3 aerokits on their 996's?

    well gt2 and gt3 aerokits "suppose" to improve performance by providing better aerodynamics, but this 997 front putting it on 996 totally bizzare idea...

    In my eyes... the front replacement makes no sence. I like the back, the side and the interior of the new car, but the front still looks to friendly for me!
