There are some threads if you search.

Basically looking at modifying the door > fender area and where the fenders attach at the top of the engine bay.

What ever you do, don't buy fiberglass junk. I have the pics of what they look like. I bought a kit for $3500.00. Complete waste of money. And they do crack. I saw first hand in person the stress cracks. I had to see it to believe it, as a corvette is fiberglass. Who has seen "Wicked Porsche Conversions"? Does he do good work?

I am currently doing a conversion using all OEM parts except for the hood (I went with a GTO style). The fenders are OEM.... half 996 and half 997. I bought an aftermarket poly gt3 bumper. Turned out to be junk. My OEM 997.1 GT3 bumper should be here Friday. Use OEM. It's cheaper to buy a 997 instead of converting a 996, but I am a very stubborn person. lol
