The fibre glass kit did not bolt straight on for the most part. Still alot of work involved.

True,997 hood nicer

No, I put the turbo rear bumper on mine........... And TK side rocker panels are going on. Everything will look equal!!!! I would be very aware if something looked narrow or off .

I dont know why anybody would go through that much effort in a build, to make the 996 look fully like the a stock 997. I were to do a full body rebuild, it would be widebody turbo with a turbo engine or something wild like this kit.

I do engine mods to all my cars to keep up with the looks. You would not want a Honda S2000 or Sti's pasting you with that body on. You would just feel stupid. And also you see the interior changes i did.

Nice work, but as other people before already wrote you need bigger rims

No the car just needs to be lowered and the wheels will fill in nicely

Still waiting for the suspenion system to come in. Because once you go over 18" or at best 19" they are not really performing wheels anymore.

I clicked on the 996 99-01 car the clicked on body kit car.
